A beautiful poem for English Poem recitation competition: The way through the woods * Kids Lounge

A beautiful poem by Rudyard Kipling, expressing the contrast between the feeling of joy of nature recovering its beauty, and the sorrow of not being able to tread and experience the nature's path first hand. An excellent choice, and one of the best poems for English poem recitation competition for all age groups. Recited by Aarav Bhatt, Class 3. ==================================================== The Way through the Woods Rudyard Kipling - 1865-1936 https://poets.org/poem/way-through-woods They shut the road through the woods Seventy years ago. Weather and rain have undone it again, And now you would never know There was once a road through the woods Before they planted the trees. It is underneath the coppice and heath, And the thin anemones. Only the keeper sees That, where the ring-dove broods, And the badgers roll at ease, There was once a road through the woods. Yet, if you enter the woods Of a summer evening late, When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools Where the otter whistles his mate, (They fear not men in the woods, Because they see so few.) You will hear the beat of a horse’s feet, And the swish of a skirt in the dew, Steadily cantering through The misty solitudes, As though they perfectly knew The old lost road through the woods. But there is no road through the woods. ================================== #englishpoemrecitationcompetition #kidslounge
