Epilogue

My adventures now are ended.

I and all whom I befriended

from this holy hill must go

home to lives we left below.

Farewell cow and farewell cat,

rabbit, tiger, sullen rat.

To our children we shall say

how we walked the Milky Way.

You whose journeys now begin,

if you reach a lovely inn,

if a rabbit makes your bed,

if two dragons bake your bread,

rest a little for my sake,

and give my love to William Blake.
