Noma Dix Winston: An Abandoned Road Vonnie Kolbenschlag shares this poem written by a highly regarded Lindsey Wilson College History professor. Vonnie said she was inspired to share this by some of the recent pictures on Columbia Magazine. An Abandoned Road By Noma Dix Winston Down from the windy and sun-washed hill, And down through the maple glade, Down where the aspen leaf is still, It sinks to a mottled shade; And there stretched out in glad release, It lapses, blurred and blind Into the infinite lonely peace Of things gone out of mind. Far into the withered forgotten years And under an earlier sky, It was a road of joys and tears Where Grief and Love went by. But now the fox has made his lair Beside the old worn way, Owls are a-wing in the moonlight where Young lovers used to stray. Shadows are shifting on the moss That covers the old wheel track, Spiders are weaving their webs across And gossamers floating slack; All the winds have gone away From that sequestered wood Leaving Silence her ancient sway In a green solitude. Only the voice of a hermit thrush Hidden deep in leafy Junes Ripples the lake of the breathless hush Through lingering afternoons. No step moves there all year through, And no man lives who knows Of what green valley it comes, or to What purple hill it goes. Other roads clamber to greet the dawn And dip to the misty sea Wandering restlessly on and on Through all the years to be; But this that marches down the glen With banners of goldenrod Out of the thoughts and needs of men Is going back to God.
