The coach is at the door at last;
The eager children, mounting fast
And kissing hands, in chorus sing:
“Good-by, good-by, to everything!
To house and garden, field and lawn,
The meadow gates we swang upon,
To pump and stable, tree and swing,
Good-by, good-by, to everything!
And fare you well for evermore,
O ladder at the hayloft door!
O hayloft where the cobwebs cling,
Good-by, good-by, to everything!
Crack goes the whip, and off we go;
The trees and houses smaller grow;
Last, round the woody turn we swing:
Good-by, good-by, to everything!”
The image shows a horse-drawn carriage moving along a country road. The light-colored stagecoach with large orange wooden wheels travels from left to right. Several passengers, including children, look out from the side window. Luggage is tied to the back, and some people sit on the roof at the rear. The carriage stirs up white dust as it moves along the rough dirt road. The road is bordered by a low stone wall. In the distance, a flat green field stretches toward a dark line of trees on the horizon. Two tall, slender green trees, possibly cypress or poplar, frame the scene. One stands on the far left, and a larger one is on the right. In the top left corner, five small black birds fly across the sky.
