Musician's or Publisher's Notes
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 forever. 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, Let 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.

The Vagabond, from "Songs of Travel"
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 forever.
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,
Let 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.
