THE PEDLAR LEAVES THE BAR PARLOUR AT DYMCHURCH, by FORD MADOX FORD Poet's Biography First Line: Good night, we'd best be jogging on Last Line: To sleep to-night. Alternate Author Name(s): Hueffer, Ford Hermann; Hueffer, Ford Madox Subject(s): Peddlers & Peddling | |||
GOOD NIGHT, we'd best be jogging on, The moon's been up a while, We've got to get to Bonnington, Nigh seven mile. But the marsh ain'd so lone if you've heered a good song, And you hum it aloud as you cater along, Nor the stiles half so high, nor the pack so like lead, If you've heered a good tale an' it runs in your head. So, come, we'd best be jogging on, The moon will give us light, We've got to get to Bonnington, To sleep to-night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EN PASSANT by EDITH COURTENAY BABBITT PEDDLER WOMAN by ALICE ELODY BREDESON THE WANDERER: 5.
