J.R.R. Tolkien - Upon The Hearth The Fire Is Red lyrics

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 gra** Let them pa**! Let them pa**! Hill and water under sky Pa** them by! Pa** them by! Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate And though we pa** 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!
