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 haven't ever watched American Idol Ruthy. But, I've got my own version going on in the classroom tonight. hehehe
One student in this class is always singing and humming. I told the rest of the class there's a 10 point bonus tonight for any of them that can sing all the songs this guy sings. It's getting pretty - interesting! :-D
Least it's keepin' me from bein' bored!

So, what's this about a fluttering skirt?
Was it short?
Was it *all* that was there?
Was it adventuresome?
Or was it only a tease?
ROFL!!! :-D

Yep. I'm rereading Jules Verne's Mysterious Island, which is pretty good if a bit overdramatic at times. Typical Verne, I guess.I also have a book that I just picked up, which is his continuation of the story of Swiss Family Robinson...hmmm...who woulda thought that Jules Verne would write fanfic? I may read that next, if I'm not all Verned out for awhile.
You can never get Verned out!--unless it's the Verne from Ernest Goes to Camp, maybe :) I reread my Vernes every few years. BTW, have you ever seen the movie version of Mysterious Island? I was thinking of that the other day because I'm writing a sf story about giant insects and there's a scene with some giant bees in there that gave me some ideas for that.
