There's a strident call in the Open Road
Where the Spring's glad message lies,
And the motor sings me a joyous song
With a lilt of the azure skies.
O’er the ribboned line of the Great Highway,
Where the wildflower carpet's laid,
Where the poppy opens her golden cup
As a symbol of Spring arrayed.
Through the forests, born in an ancient day,
With their banks of moss and bloom,
And the bordered aisles of the canyons dim
Where the giant Redwoods loom.
Then o'er hill and dale to the realm of snow,
To the mirrored lakes and rills,
While the skylark's call from the meadows green
Can be heard on a thousand hills.
For the feverish press in this Game of Life
What a balm does Nature bear!
What a draught of health in the new-turned earth,
What a change from the realm of Care!
O, the key to much that the world loves best
Can be found beside the way,
If your motor sings you a joyous song
At the dawn of a bright spring day.
