Eight-line Poems

The Road

The Road

The road goes ever on and on
JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

On and on it ever goes,
the road on high and way down low,
from where you are, exactly here,
o’er hill and vale and far and near.

It wanders off to utmost north,
then turns around and sallies forth
to sunny south and far off west,
and to the east but home is best.
