Before our wheels there lies unrolled
A land of meadows and streams—too soon
We will lose it: Come, would you live blindfold?
Come for a bicycling afternoon!

Envoy.

O Tutors, the blinding sun awoke us
From our pipes, our papers, our bookish swoon—
And, lest our learning should rise and choke us
We went for a bicycling afternoon!
