We'll Be Going on Again
We've footed it so far today across the pathless
plain,
And down the hills, across the vales, and up the
hills again,
And through a forest green and dark, where turtle-
doves were mourning__
So we are glad to, stay, tonight,
And share your food and your lamplight;
But we'll be going on again in the morning,
We'll be going on __ in the morning.
We've watched the morning, on the plain, rise, robed
in floating gold ,
And in the hills we've seen the twilight, purple-
mantled, starry, cold;
And in the forest oft at night we've heard the skies
a-storming __
And we are glad to rest our heads
Sometime, somewhere, upon your beds;
But we'll be going on again in the morning,
We'll be going on __ in the morning.
We've seen the winter cross the land, its veils of
white a-trailing,
We've seen the pink buds all awake when pearly
clouds were sailing;
We've seen the wide fields parched and dead, when
glowed the August noon,
And purple grapes, and scarlet leaves, beneath the
harvest moon__
We've seen them many times before__
We hope to see them many more;
And we'll be going on again in the morning,
We'll be going on __ in the morning.
