Ever On....

[Lady Ashley]

Ok, this is another poem by me! Of COURSE you all know that I did not come up with the first two lines, "The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began." Nope! That's my disclaimer. Not did I write the phrase "there and back again". Enjoy!


The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began,
Ever on until it’s gone
We will follow if we can.

Across the rivers of silver sheen
Through the woods of darkened green
Over mountains tall and grey
Until each end of day.

The Road goes on and on
Forever and always,
Past adventure, past sorrow
Until the End of Days.

We will go there and back again,
Arriving there to meet the foe
And then back where we once began
Where the road began to go.


(If anyone has any suggestions about the last line, please tell me! It doesn't make sense, the last line "where the road began to go" but it was all I could go on with something that rhymed with "foe".)

Yet another wonderful poem Ashley, another one to sing. You are right about the last line, sorry I can't help you, I'll have to think on it.
I apprciate your dilema I have a poem that I wrote years ago that has a line that I'm not happy with, but I still haven't found another word to rhyme.

Lovely! :thumbs:

Hmm...for the last line....how about:

We will go there and back again,
Arriving there to meet the foe
And then back where we once began
Now arriving safely home.

(I know it doesn't have an "o" ending but it sounds right when I say it aloud).

Well... heres my suggestion:

It's good to be back home, we know.

Or maybe:

Never again away to go.

Or maybe that's not the kind of ending you want.
know, no, toe, row, below, low, tow, go, oh, though, so, all rhyme.
that's all i can think of for now!

Nice poem, Ashley.

[Lady Ashley]

Heehee Thanks. And here *drumroll* is the last four lines with the new line!:

We will go there and back again,
Arriving there to meet the foe
And then back where we once began
At last returning home.

Thanks, again!

Very nice poem indeed.

What about these last two lines

And once back where the road began
a new one seems to go.

[Lady Ashley]
