The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Home is behind, the world ahead
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 then...I apologize. ;-)

Just from an airfare point of view, alphabetical might not be the most efficient order.

Right now the place I want to visit is Tuscany...So are you saying you want to be Under the Tuscan Sun?

You know that whole part about the writer chucking everything to move into an Italian villa does have a nice ring to it...
To: RosieCotton
Heh, but it's such a useful little typo...

On the other hand, I think five children makes a small family.OK - but any more than that:

yeesh...now ~that's~ a litter...
In other news somebody yakked in the foyer whilst I was out. I think it was the dog. I just looked at him and said "There are too many invalids in this house. YOU are the most expendable."
I said it sweetly of course. ;-)
Gettin' ready to take Jr. to the doctor. He's still got an infected toe and now it looks like he's got the flu. Gotta get him in for a ~complete~ physical 'cause he shouldn't be this sick all the time.
