Book of the Royal blue . a writermakes the following reflections : But whilethe automobile and the pleasure coach mayrestore the old taverns to their pristineglories, the real life of the ancient highwayhas passed beyond recall. The caravans ofgreat freight wagons and long processionsof mail and stage coaches were picturesquefeatures of the old life that history will notrepeat. The morn, and the teamster up with the sun,Hooked, and all his feeding done;Ye-ho! the cumbersome wagon rolls,Freighted with goods, and the precious souls—Wife and babies—true pioneers,Seeking the West of other years,Out of the valleys of Frederick the winding way to Ohio sweet. Dreaming there by the roadside pool,With its rippling current so clear and phantom passed and the vision the inn was gone, with its liveried pride;But the old road stretches, a band of me through the valleys of yesterday;And the six-span team, with its tent of snow,Rolls by when I think of long ago.
