Neighbor Chicory
Where the stamping horses pass
And the dust is in the grass,
By the roadside bare and hot
Gracing each unlovely spot
Lo! before our weary eyes
Shines the blue of summer skies
Gleaming like an azure star
Where the fiercest sunbeams are,
Neighbor Chicory bestows
Such a sense of cool repose,
In the noon-tide’s hottest glare
It is always evening there.
Oh, to learn the conquering grace
Of that blossom’s tender face!
Thus victoriously may I
Where the choking dust-clouds fly
And life’s clamors never cease
Bring the cooling sense of peace.
