Silver Road, I Wonder Where

Silver Road, I Wonder Where - meaning Summary

Journey Toward Unknown Night

The poem presents a speaker drawn to a mysterious "silver road," addressing it with wonder and uncertainty. The road symbolizes an invitation—perhaps to love, risk, or death—blurred between joy and madness. The speaker asks for inner courage and simple comforts (sunset, a willow branch) as guidance. The final hope is that this uncertain journey might lead, at last, to the gate of paradise, blending longing with resignation.

Silver road, I wonder where You are calling me anew? Like a Thursday candle there Shines a starlet over you. Are you fraught with joy or sorrow? Isn"t madness your intent? Help me, heart and soul, tomorrow Love your hard snow to the end. Give me sunset for the sleigh and Willow branch that beautifies. Maybe I will in the end Reach the gate of paradise.
