A vagabond foot and a vagabond road,And the love in our hearts our only load.
An easy foot in an easy shoe,And who is it cares where the road leads to?
An old plank gate at a lane's green end,And who is it cares where the lane may wend?
A bowl of milk and a bit of bread,Who richer fares or is better fed?
A crust, a spring and a blackberry,And who is it sups as well as we?
A hut by the road and a girl to kiss,What man hath greater joy than this?
descriptionPage 82
The night, the stars, and a pillow of hay,Whose bed is sweeter than this, I say?
Whose dreams are deeper? whose sleep as pure?—The heart that's heavy finds here its cure.
FINLEY WOODS, JULY 15th.
