The Return From Town

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Edna St. Vincent Millay

As I sat down by Saddle Stream
To bathe my dusty feet there,
A boy was standing on the bridge
Any girl would meet there.
As I went over Woody Knob
And dipped into the hollow,
A youth was coming up the hill
Any maid would follow.
Then in I turned at my own gate,-
And nothing to be sad for-
To such a man as any WIFE
Would pass a pretty lad for.
