On the road to Arcadie, Past the mountains, past the sea Past the crossroads soberly To Arcadie, to Arcadie. Pilgrims of a dream are we Knowing not if true it be, But we press on silently To Arcadie, to Arcadie, Arcadie, oh Arcadie! We are lost, we cannot see, For the dust blows bitterly On the road to Arcadie.
First published in The Yale Literary Magazine, volume 63, 1898.
