Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
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! |

Well, it's been awhile, but I recall a friend having it on 8 track. Late 60's, IRRC.

Looks like everyone agrees that New Orleans is going to get it.
To: Professional Engineer
Interesting; the west track seems to head up I-49 to US 71 and then follows old route 66. Hmmm.

The tracks don't usually cluster that tightly, do they?
Eek.

So did we, several years ago, LSA wanted to get another record player, heck, we gots lots of records. Actually was kinda hard to find, since we weren't looking for 'audiophile' quality. We just wanted to play some records.

I finally gave up and got rid of mine. I still have a crate full of albums. Not sure what I'll ever do with 'em.
