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!

Oh well...that'll help in deciding whether to attend future Freeper balls. I'm such a cheapskate that I'd hate to pay out for something I'm not going to wear regularly.

Well, if the boots work as a taliman, then it was money well spent. :-)

Besides you say green, 'round these parts it mostly bark, limbs, and various shades of brown where the green, grass of home is supposed to be.

I'm convinced that there is a special driving course the snow plow drivers take in order to be able to block in driveways so precisely.

Um... I know who Johnny Carson was... though I admit, it took me a couple minutes, my first thought was "singer".
