Excerpt from Caravan DaysShall we make a journey? There's a highway that I knowIn a country where the heather meets the sky,Where the hillsides are ablaze with the bracken's autumn glow.Shall we make a journey - You and I?There's a little whispering burn there, running peaty from the hill,And the shepherd's rich in poultry and in kye:So you may have poached eggs and batter pudding if you will.Shall we make a journey - You and I?You will make the beds, Dear, and I shall make the tea;And we'll hang our wee bit washing out to dry;And we'll black our boots for Sunday, though there's no one thereto see.Shall we make a journey - You and I?And though we may turn homeward when this little journey's done,There's a gey long road before us, Dear, - forbye.So take my hand, my Comrade, and we two shall be as one.Shall we make a journey - You and I?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
