And be friend to man.
l know there are -gladdened
meadows ahead,
And mountains of wearisome height;
That the road stretches on through the
long afternoon
And passes away to the night.
Yet still rejoice when the travellers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that
mourn;
Nor live in my house by the side of
the road
Like man that lives alone.
Let me live in house by the side of
the road
Where the races of men go by;
They ale good, they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish; so am 1.
Then why should l sit in the scorner's
seat,
Or hurl a cynic's ban?
Let me live in mousse by the side of
the road
And be friend to man.
