Roads go§0 §0ever ever on,§0 §0 §0Over rock§0 §0and under tree,§0 §0 §0By caves where never sun has shone,§0 §0 §0By streams that never find the sea;§0 §0

Over snow§0 §0by winter sown,§0 §0 §0And through§0 §0the merry flowers§0 §0of June,§0 §0 §0Over grass§0 §0and over stone,§0 §0 §0And under mountains§0 §0in the moon.§0 §0

Roads go§0 §0ever ever on,§0 §0 §0Under cloud§0 §0and under star.§0 §0 §0Yet feet that wandering have gone§0 §0 §0Turn at last§0 §0to home afar.

Eyes that fire§0 §0and sword have seen,§0 §0 §0And horror in§0 §0the halls of stone§0 §0 §0Look at last on meadows green,§0 §0 §0And trees and hills they long have known.§0

The Road goes§0 §0ever on and on§0 §0 §0Down from the door where it began.§0 §0 §0Now far ahead§0 §0the Road has gone,§0 §0 §0And I must follow,§0 §0if I can,

Pursuing it§0 §0with eager feet,§0 §0 §0Until it joins§0 §0some larger way,§0 §0 §0Where many paths§0 §0and errands meet.§0 §0
