What for his scrip on the winding road?
A crown for his head, or a laurel wreath?
A sword to wield, or is gold his load?
What will you give him for weal or woe?
What for the journey through day and night?
Give or withhold from him power and fame,
But give to him love of the earth's delight.
Let him be lover of wind and sun
And of falling rain; and the friend of trees;
