Book 10 — THE GYPSY STRAIN
Reading edition
ARTHUR KETCHUM '98
It comes with the autumn's silence, When great Hills dream apart, And far blue leagues of distance Call to the Gypsy-heart.
When all the length of sunny roads, A lure to restless feet, Are largesses of goldenrod And beck of bitter-sweet.
Then the wand'rer in us wakens And out from citied girth, To go a-vagabonding down The wide ways of the Earth.
Literary Monthly, 1898.
