The lanes of boyhood
Down the lanes of boyhood, hear their laughter ring!
See the tousled army marching straightway to a spring;
Flat upon the ground they fall, just to get a drink,
Here’s a thirst emporium where glasses never clink,
No glittering place of red and gold the passer-by to snare,
Yet, rich with Nature’s coloring, a thousand times more fair.
Edgar Albert Guest ~ The lanes of boyhood

many thanks Marina – I try to make sure he has the necessary privacy when posting his pics and these give nothing much away other than they epitomize the lanes of boyhood 🙂
