Lyrics

[ti:]
[ar:]
[al:]
[00:17.63] Upon the hearth the fire is red,
[00:20.35] Beneath the roof there is a bed;
[00:22.91] But not yet weary are our feet,
[00:25.30] Still round the corner we may meet
[00:27.64] A sudden tree or standing stone
[00:32.74] That none have seen but we alone.
[00:35.72] Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
[00:38.36] Let them pass! Let them pass!
[00:40.89] Hill and water under sky,
[00:43.34] Pass them by! Pass them by!
[01:06.43] Still round the corner there may wait
[01:09.17] A new road or a secret gate,
[01:11.67] And though we pass them by today,
[01:14.23] Tomorrow we may come this way
[01:16.55] And take the hidden paths that run
[01:21.67] Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
[01:24.71] Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
[01:27.02] Let them go! Let them go!
[01:29.51] Sand and stone and pool and dell,
[01:32.06] Fare you well! Fare you well!
[01:55.30] Home is behind, the world ahead,
[01:58.24] And there are many paths to tread
[02:00.78] Through shadows to the edge of night,
[02:02.92] Until the stars are all alight.
[02:05.60] Then world behind and home ahead,
[02:11.02] We'll wander back to home and bed.
[02:14.27] Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
[02:16.71] Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
[02:19.14] Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
[02:21.66] And then to bed! And then to bed!
