The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Through shadows to the edge of night
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! |

Speaking of spring break... Heh...can you believe they actually had to do a study to "prove" that college kids drink and have sex on spring break?
To: ecurbh
LOL! You're cracking me up this morning.

To: JenB
Though...in the Hobbit Hole universe, given what backgammon is...tiddlywinks sounds pretty kinky to me.

Good morning Corin! I've got a bit of a headache that I'm trying to alleviate with coffee and if that doesn't work, I'll try an Alka Seltzer. But other than that, I'm happy as a clam...a nice rain, an almost finished paper!

Naw - it's stopped already :~\ I'm a little disappointed, but I'm sure Rosie's relieved.

Tam just stepped on the keyboard, which he never does, and it opened up a new post to you. So I guess he says "hi".
Freaky kitty...

I don't need additional pressure today!
Too much pressure!
