Roads

Roads

I’ll turn down the forest path,The narrow road and dark;You may race on the clean clear plainWith sun and wind and lark.I’ll go down the forest ways,Stumbling with pain and fears;I’ll search out her shadowy heart,Though I see her face through tears.You may go where the sky is bright,But mine is the rain and hail;Mine is the dark and the unseen bird,Tangled wood and twisted trail.

I’ll turn down the forest path,

The narrow road and dark;

You may race on the clean clear plain

With sun and wind and lark.

I’ll go down the forest ways,Stumbling with pain and fears;I’ll search out her shadowy heart,Though I see her face through tears.

I’ll go down the forest ways,

Stumbling with pain and fears;

I’ll search out her shadowy heart,

Though I see her face through tears.

You may go where the sky is bright,But mine is the rain and hail;Mine is the dark and the unseen bird,Tangled wood and twisted trail.

You may go where the sky is bright,

But mine is the rain and hail;

Mine is the dark and the unseen bird,

Tangled wood and twisted trail.
