Here you will find thePoemNew Roadsof poet Katharine Lee Bates
FAR road for words that rush, Arrowing space, Swifter than meteors flush Star-road in race. Wireless! Tireless, leaping the wave! Roger Bacon laughs in his grave. One road, o'er-steep to climb Since world began, Winged in our wonder-time, Sun-road for man. Air-ship! Fair ship, soaring the blue! Galileo had burned for you. Dread road for Freedom's sons, Sworn to release Life from the threat of guns, Red road to peace. New knights! true knights! gleam of God's blade! Lincoln leads in the Last Crusade.
