Edna St. Vincent Millay Quotes

Now By The Path I Climbed, I Journey Back

Now By The Path I Climbed, I Journey Back.
The Oaks Have Grown; I Have Been Long Away.
Taking With Me Your Memory And Your Lack
I Now Descend Into A Milder Day;
Stripped Of Your Love, Unburdened Of My Hope,
Descend The Path I Mounted From The Plain;
Yet Steeper Than I Fancied Seems The Slope
And Stonier, Now That I Go Down Again.
Warm Falls The Dusk; The Clanking Of A Bell
Faintly Ascends Upon This Heavier Air;
I Do Recall Those Grassy Pastures Well:
In Early Spring They Drove The Cattle There.
And Close At Hand Should Be A Shelter, Too,
From Which The Mountain Peaks Are Not In View.
