Thistle Down

By Ethel

Where?

Which way are you going?
What are you going to do?
Tell me...Quickly tell me,
So I will know it, too.

Down along the trussels?
Walking to and fro?
Did you stop and ponder,
Which way you should go?

Did you pass the hedges?
Stopping at the brink?
To hear the sound of water,
And stoop to take a drink?

Was your heart excited?
Did you see a star?
Was the night enchanting?
Did you venture far?

Did it seem like dreaming?
Like the humming of a song?
O tell me where you're going,
So I can...come along.
