FAR road for words that rush, <br />Arrowing space, <br />Swifter than meteors flush <br />Star-road in race. <br />Wireless! Tireless, leaping the wave! <br />Roger Bacon laughs in his grave. <br />One road, o'er-steep to climb <br />Since world began, <br />Winged in our wonder-time, <br />Sun-road for man. <br />Air-ship! Fair ship, soaring the blue! <br />Galileo had burned for you. <br />Dread road for Freedom's sons, <br />Sworn to release <br />Life from the threat of guns, <br />Red road to peace. <br />New knights! true knights! gleam of God's blade! <br />Lincoln leads in the Last Crusade.<br /><br />Katharine Lee Bates<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/new-roads-3/
