Poetry examples for “lanes”

Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

song
Means flowering lanes and leas and spaces
dry,

Like me you’ll long for home, where birds’ glad song
Means flowering lanes and leas and spaces dry,
And tender thoughts and feelings fine and strong,

And, in a mortal sorrow, still pursue
Thro' sordid streets and lanes
And houses brown and bare

Till once, through lanes returning late,
Her laughing sisters lagg’d behind;

Would make a sound as thin and sweet
As trees in country lanes.

But when the South Wind stirs the Pools
And struggles in the lanes --
Her Heart misgives Her, for Her Vow --

The Afternoons -- Together spent --
And Twilight -- in the Lanes --
Some ministry to poorer lives --

Ye, who sometimes, in your rambles
Through the green lanes of the country,
Where the tangled barberry-bushes

Ye who sometimes, in your rambles
Through the green lanes of the country,
Where the tangled barberry-bushes

They lived in narrow streets and lanes obscure,
Ghetto and Judenstrass, in mirk and mire;
