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