THE FREEBOOTER


No door has my house,

No house has my door;
And in and out ever

I carry my store.

No grate has my kitchen,

No kitchen my grate;
Yet roasts it and boils it

Both early and late.

My bed has no trestles,

My trestles no bed;
Yet merrier moments

No mortal e’er led.

My cellar is lofty,

My barn is full deep,
From top to the bottom,

There lie I and sleep.

And soon as I waken,

All moves on its race;
My place has no fixture,

My fixture no place.
