upon the hearth the fire is red,
beneath the roof there is a bed;
but not yet weary our feet,
still round the corner we may meet
a sudden tree or a 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 hidden paths that run
towards the moon or to the sun
apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
let them go ! let them go !
sand an 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 .
the world behind and home ahead,
we'll wander back to home and bed .
mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
away all fade ! away all fade !
fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
and then to bed ! and then to bed !
