Ralph Vaughan Williams, Roderick Williams & Iain Burnside - Vaughan Williams: Songs of Travel / The House of Life (English Song, Vol. 14)

Songs of Travel: The Vagabond

Give to me the life I love
Let the lathe 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 the field 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
