Explore "The Path by the Creek" by Madison Cawein on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There is a path that leads / Through purple iron-weeds, / By button-bush and mallow / Along a creek; / A path that wildflowers hallow, / That wild birds seek; / Roofed thick with eglantine / And grape and trumpet-vine.
This side, blackberries sweet / Glow cobalt in the heat; / That side, a creamy yellow, / In summertime / The pawpaws slowly mellow; / And autumn's prime / Strews red the Chickasaw, / Persimmon brown and haw.
