Roadways One road leads to London, One road leads to Wales, My road leads me seawards To the white dipping sails. One road leads to the river, And it goes singing slow; My road leads to shipping, Where the bronzed sailors go. My road calls me, lures me West, east, south, and north; Most roads lead men homewards, My road leads me forth. John Masefield
