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 the hidden paths that run
Toward 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
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!

Then world behind and home ahead
We'll wander back to home and bed
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread
And to bed! And then to bed!
