Mentana

The Vagabond
Give to me the life I love,
 Let the lave go by me,
 Give the jolly heaven above
 And the byway nigh me.
 Bed in the bush with stars to see,
 Bread I dip in the river—
 There’s the life for a man like me,
 There’s the life for ever. Let the blow fall soon or late,
 Let what will be o’er me;
 Give the face of earth around
 And the road before me.
 Wealth I seek not, hope nor love,
 Nor a friend to know me;
 All I seek, the heaven above
 And the road below me. Or let autumn fall on me
 Where afield I linger,
 Silencing the bird on tree,
 Biting the blue finger.
 White as meal the frosty field—
 Warm the fireside haven— Not to autumn will I yield,
 Not to winter even! Let the blow fall soon or late,
 Letras de cancionesLet what will be o’er me;
 Give the face of earth around,
 And the road before me.
 Wealth I ask not, hope nor love,
 Nor a friend to know me.
 All I ask, the heaven above
 And the road below me. From Letras Mania
