Beyond the ferry water <br />That fast and silent flowed, <br />She turned, she gazed a moment, <br />Then took her onward road <br /> <br />Between the winding willows <br />To a city white with spires: <br />It seemed a path of pilgrims <br />To the home of earth's desires. <br /> <br />Blue shade of golden branches <br />Spread for her journeying, <br />Till he that lingered lost her <br />Among the leaves of Spring.<br /><br />Robert Laurence Binyon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ferry-hinksey/
