Robert W Service - Rover`s RestRobert W Service - Rover`s Rest
Work rating: Low


By parents I would not be pinned,        Nor in my home abide, For I was wanton as the wind        And tameless as the tide; So scornful of domestic hearth,        And bordered garden path, I sought the wilder ways of earth,        The roads of wrath.         It scares me now to think of how        Foolhardily I fared; Though mighty scarred of pelt and pow        A dozen deaths I`ve dared; Yet there are trails I would explore,        And wilds that for me wait . . . Alas! I`ll wander nevermore,—        The hour`s too late. The folks are at my picture show,        I smoke my pipe and sigh. Soft-slippered by the ember`s glow        A baby-sitter I. Behold! In dressing-gown of mauve,        To comfort reconciled, A rover rocks the cradle of        His new grand-child.
