"The Song of the Road"
The song of the road is an old, old song
As long as the wayfarer's trail is long
As sweet as the sunrise over the hill
That lights up what was, and what always will
For music is wild as wind may be
And makes minstrels wilder, too, you see
As footloose and frisky as clouds up high
Who breathe in a laugh, and breathe out a sigh
It's travel that teases the muse to sing
Of good times and bad times and everything
That heroes and villains and all have done
Whatever is new underneath the sun
Song is what binds up the free-flowing time
And makes fast a memory wound in rhyme
As minstrels are merry and sad in turn
So too goes the world, as all people learn
Let wives and their children fill up a home
And keep a man happy, no need to roam
Let farmers and workers set down their load
But minstrels are for the wide-open road.

I did actually write a pilgrim poem this session, but this isn't it. Watch for "Passo a Passo" in Fiorenza the Wisewoman.
