It`s little I care what path I take,
And where it leads it`s little I care;
But out of this house, lest my heart break,
I must go, and off somewhere.
It`s little I know what`s in my heart,
What`s in my mind it`s little I know,
But there`s that in me must up and start,
And it`s little I care where my feet go.
I wish I could walk for a day and a night,
And find me at dawn in a desolate place
With never the rut of a road in sight,
Nor the roof of a house, nor the eyes of a face.
I wish I could walk till my blood should spout,
And drop me, never to stir again,
On a shore that is wide, for the tide is out,
And the weedy rocks are bare to the rain.
But dump or dock, where the path I take
Brings up, it`s little enough I care;
And it`s little I`d mind the fuss they`ll make,
Huddled dead in a ditch somewhere.
"Is something the matter, dear," she said,
"That you sit at your work so silently?"
"No, mother, no, `twas a knot in my thread.
There goes the kettle, I`ll make the tea."
