[Verse]
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began
Now far ahead the Road has gone
And I must follow, if I can

[Verse]
Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet
And whither then? I cannot say

[Verse]
Roads go ever ever on
Over rock and under tree
By caves where never sun has shone
By streams that never find the sea

[Verse]
Over snow by winter sown
And through the merry flowers of June
Over grass and over stone
And under mountains in the moon

[Verse]
Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar
[Verse]
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known

[Verse]
The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began
Now far ahead the Road has gone
Let others follow it who can!

[Verse]
Let them a journey new begin
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn
My evening-rest and sleep to meet
