The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...
Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
But not yet weary are our feet...
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! |

I just finished reading the "LOTR musical" thread. Ghastly, especially the contributions of our own folks. :) The Ring to Sauron:
"If ever I would leave you..."

Morning!
When I was home this weekend I saw my first bluebonnets of the year! An annual birthday treat. :-)
Also, Indian Paintbrush, Irises and tulips! It felt like spring for sure! Yesterday when I went to lunch with my buddy Tommy it was 80 degrees at the bank in downtown Gatesville, Texas! I was in heaven. :-)

WOW, I would love to see that dress. But it looks so much better on her.
To: Wneighbor
Well...the cat grass is getting close to 4 inches....I'll have to serve soon. Got some seedlings up - Tomatoes peppers and eggplant. Wonder if anything will come of it?
To: Wneighbor
Hey!! Morning. I didn't get anything done at all yesterday cause I was playing at the Dwight Yoakam website. Watching his old videos. He has been an easy distraction.
To: Overtaxed; Wneighbor
I still can't see the ground, most places. And really won't be able to after the snowstorm.
Can't wait for...oh...about late May.
