Explore "It was the Road to Jericho" by Annie Fellows Johnston on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The World pressed toward its Jericho, / The goal of its desire -- / Its marts, its pleasures and its shrines / Its dreams of great empire.
A hoard of gold it bore along / To barter and to buy. / But on the road, by thieves beset, / It, too, was left to die.
