THE SILVER ROAD Last night I saw a Silver Road Go straight across the sea; And qui ck as I raced along the shore . That luck road followed me. It followed me all round the bay. Where small Waves danced in tune; And at the end of the silver Road. There hung a silver Moon. A loge round Moon on a pale green sky. With a pathway bight and broad; Some night I shall bring that silver Moon Across that Silver Road.
