Upland Ave. A poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson A Patch of Meadow & Upland A patch of meadow & upland Reached by a mile of road, Soothed by the voice of waters, With birds & flowers bestowed. This is my book of Chronicles, Code, Psalter, lexicon, My Genesis & calendar I read it as I run. It is my consolation In mild or poignant grief, My park & my gymnasium, My out-of-door relief. I come to it for strength, Which it can well supply, For Love draws might from terrene force And potences of sky. The tremulous battery, earth, Responds to touch of man, It thrills to the antipodes, From Boston to Japan. The planets' child the planet knows And to his joy replies; To the lark's trill unfolds the rose, Clouds flush their gayest dyes. When Ali prayed & loved Where Syrian waters roll, Upward the ninth heaven thrilled & moved At the tread of the jubilant soul.

Upper Afton Rd.   The famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns, wrote many poems about the River Afton, also called Afton Water. Afton Water                                                                           Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes, Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise; My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream, Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream. Thou stock-dove, whose echo resounds thro' the glen, Ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den, Thou green-crested lapwing, thy screaming forbear, I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair. How lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighbouring hills, Far mark'd with the courses of clear winding rills; There daily I wander as noon rises high, My flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye. How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below, Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow; There oft, as mild Ev'ning sweeps over the lea, The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me. Thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides, And winds by the cot where my Mary resides, How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave, As gathering sweet flowrets she stems thy clear wave. Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes, Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays; My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream, Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.
