Poetry Friday: The Town of Hay by Sam Walter Foss

The town of Hay is far away,
The town of Hay is far;
Between its hills of green and gray
Its winding meadows are.
Within the quiet town of Hay
Is many a quiet glen,
And there by many a shaded way
Are homes of quiet men:
And there are many hearts alway
That turn with longing, night and day,
Back to the town of Hay.

- the first stanza of The Town of Hay by Sam Walter Foss
