Memory Work:
Roadways
By John Masefield
One road leads to London,
One road runs to Wales,
My road leads me seawards
To the white dipping sails.
One
road leads to the river
As it goes singing slow.
My road leads to shipping
Where the bronzed sailors go.
My road calls me, lures me
West, east, south and north,
Most
roads lead men homewards
My road leads me forth.
