Together blending, And soon descending The narrow sweep Of the hillside steep, They wind aslant Towards Saint Amant, Through leafy alleys Of Verdurous valleys With merry sallies Singing their chant: "The roads should blossom, the roads should bloom, So fair a bride shall leave her home!
"The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Saddened a moment, the bridal train Resumed the dance and song again; The bridegroom only was pale with fear;- And down green alleys Of Verdurous valleys, With merry sallies, They sang the refrain:- "The roads should blossom, the roads should bloom, So fair a bride shall leave her home!
"The Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Never again henceforth outstretched in my Verdurous cavern Shall I behold you afar from the bushy precipice hanging.
