Explore "Back River. "Medway Plantation"" by Hervey Allen on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Back River! What a name / For yesterdays come back again today, / Reborn to be tomorrows still the same -- / A landgrave built it when the English came; / Then men made houses well / With cunning hands.
And service wore a nearer, feudal guise -- / Witness the stone where "Rose, / A faithful servant," lies.
