The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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 can't help but picture a crowd of people holding up steins and swaying from side to side as they sing along...

Kind of like a bunch of folks nodding in rhythm while listening to Eric Clapton sing J. J. Cale's "Cocaine"

True story. When my cousin (the one that passed away a couple of years ago) moved from SW Virginia to Virginia Beach, she was sad because she missed the mountains.

Her new friends said, "but Judy, we have a mountain."

They took her to a sand dune.

We stayed in Big Sky MT on our vacation a couple of years ago. It's about an hour South of Bozeman, and an hour north of West Yellowstone (the Western entrance to the park). Just gorgeous country, and less expensive in the summertime than Jackson Hole, WY.

Maybe we should just go back to the Castle again for the next big moot. Or did it get washed out to sea?
