Goldenrod / John Banister Tabb


Goldenrod

As Israel, in days of old,
Beneath the prophet s rod,
Amid the waters, backward rolled,
A path triumphant trod;

So, while thy lifted staff appears,
Her pilgrim steps to guide,
The Autumn journeys on, nor fears
The Winter s threatening tide.

John Banister Tabb (1845-1909)
from
Poems, 1894
