"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,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."

"Бежит дорога все вперед.
Куда она зовет?
Какой готовит поворот?
Какой узор совьет?
Сольются тысячи дорог
В один великий путь.
Начало знаю; а итог –
Узнаю как-нибудь."
