The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

"Darlin' we cain't keep feedin' the kids and this dog."

"Well, alright then, leave him up by the store, that horse woman takes in all kinds of strays...ain't you seen her husband?"

Uh oh. I haven't watched the news tonight, so I hope I don't make a mistake wearing short sleeves tomorrow.

I'm watching the Discovery Channel where they have folks talking about how a mega-tsunami could hit the eastern US and wipe out everything from Miami to Boston.

Wonderful.

There's some things I'd like to do again, and a few things I'd skip ;~D

And maybe you could find out what you said in yer weddin' vows...

(I'm catching up, dang it!)

I know how you feel, chica. I suffered today for staying up so late last night.

I'll be following you out shortly.

Sleep well, sis!

There's the optimistic side I was missing! *grin*

I think I'll just find a tall building, strap my kids to my sides and grab a boogie board if it hits.
