The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

But wait. Aren't there like a kajillion-billion illegal immigrants banging down your door asking to mow your lawn for five bucks?

Never mind, I found it!

HOMEWARD BOUND

In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red,

When the summer's ceased its gleaming,
When the corn is past its prime,
When adventure's lost its meaning,
I'll be homeward bound in time.

Bind me not to the pasture,
Chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow.

[EXTRA PART]
When the sun is slowly setting
And the day is nearly through,
While my troubles I'm forgetting,
I'll be homeward bound to you.
[END EXTRA PART]

If you find it's me you're missing,
If you're hoping I'll return,
To your thoughts I'll soon be list'ning,
And in the road I'll stop and turn.

Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end
And my path I'll be retracing
When I'm homeward bound again.

Bind me not to the pasture,
Chain me not to the plow.
Set me free to find my calling
And I'll return to you somehow.

In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing,
I'll be homeward bound again.

I'll be homeward bound again.

I've been drinking all day...so I don't think it's that. Dunno what it is.

Well...got part of the front done and I ain't dead yet. But I wish the sun would go away...minus rain.

Good evening...

An interesting weekend. I was houseguest to a coke dealer. He'll retire from the Coca-Cola Company in September.

Such relatives and in-laws do my friends have.

They appear to have been conspiring something. I'll be passing along any discoveries as I discover them.

Good night,
Sleep tight,
Don't let
The bedbugs bite.

If they do,
Hit 'em with a shoe;
That'll do.

So Jr. he says to me, he says, "I won't be able to take on anything extra for the next few days. I have to learn my script and rehearse and stuff for the youth production."

I just stared at him and said, "Don't even ~think~ about playin' the 'I've got too much stuff to do' game with ~me~."

He started to challenge me, but thought the better of it.

Maybe he's learnable after all...
