lyrics: J.R.R. Tolkien
(The Old Walking Song)
Roads go ever on and on
under cloud and under star.
Yet feet that wandering have gone
turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
and horrors in the halls of stone,
look at last on meadows green
and trees they long have known.
The road goes ever on and on
down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the road has gone,
let others follow it, who can.
Let them a journey new begin,
but I at last with weary feet
will turn towards the lighted inn,
my evening rest and sleep to meet.
