Mulla-Mulgars' Journey Song

That one, alone,
Who's dared and gone
To seek the Magic Wonderstone,
No fear, or care,
Or black despair
Shall heed until his journey's done.

Who knows, where grows
The Mulgars' rose,
In valleys 'neath unmelting snows —
All secrets, he
Shall pierce and see,
And walk unharmed where'er he goes.

Notes

From THE THREE MULLA-MULGARS, by Walter De La Mare, Duckworth & Co, London, ©1910.

A wonderful book to read.

    Favorite Childhood Verse

    This poem was one of my favorite when I was a child, and I also was entralled by the entire thick book. Maybe I should read it again!
