The Hobbit Hole XII - Tree and flower and leaf and grass
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 06/26/2004 8:07:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Tree and flower and leaf and grass

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Are you back home (your NC home, that is?)

Yep. But I didn't have time to go by there.

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that thread used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people post
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.

But July made me shiver
With every refresh I’d discover.
Bad news on the desktop;
They hadn't made one more post.

I can’t remember if I cried
When I saw it disappear from latest posts,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the hobbit thread died.

So bye-bye, to the hobbit hole thread.
Clicked my mousie on the linkie,
But the linkie was dead.
And them good old dwarves were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, this’ll be the day the thread dies.
This’ll be the day the thread dies.

Did you write a post of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in Free Republic,
Can a thread save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to post real slow?

The thread will never die, Mrs. HairoftheEcurbh...not as long as there's breath in me!

There are some good threads in this world, and they're worth fighting for!

I'm so glad you're here! I was feeling a bit down thinkin' I am the only one in the world who would be sitting at home tonight. :-)

Gidget looks like she's thinking: "Hmmmm...nice looking dog, but a bit aloof, doncha think?"

Evening Ruthie; there's usually a few that will show up eventually.

Isn't Trini supposed to be making a 'surprise' visit tonight so you and WN & PQ can 'moot by wireless'?

Been raining off and on here, not Texas heavy, just enough to keep us out the garden.

No. Unfortunately, trini couldn't make it by tonight.

She'll prolly swing by tomorrow night, maybe.

WN and PQ haven't called yet, but I expect they will sometime soon.
