The Answering Voice: One Hundred Love Lyrics by Women. 1917. | | | | Norah | | By Zoë Akins |
| | | I KNEW his house by the poplar trees— | |
| Green and silvery in the breeze; | |
| |
| “A heaven-high hedge,” were the words he said, | |
| “And holly-hocks—pink and white and red….” | |
| |
| It seemed so far from McChesney’s Hall | 5 |
| Where first he told me about it all…. | |
| |
| A long path runs inside from the gate, | |
| He still can take it early or late; | |
| |
| But where in the world is a path for me— | |
| Except the river that runs to the sea! | 10 | | | |
