Explore "First Stage of the Journey" by Sarah Noble Ives on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Sing ho! for the road that opens down / Out of the sleepy old Baby Town. / Sing ho! for the joy of the Shining Way, / For Dorothy took her first steps to-day.
Mother has helped her alone to stand, / And now she is holding her dimpled hand, / And now there's a start and a tipsy run, / And life on the road is well begun.
There's a tear in the midst of Mother's smiles, / But Mother will lead her the first few miles. / So let her start on her journey gay. / Sing ho! for the joy of the Shining Way.
