Subject: Lyr Add: MULLA-MULGARS' JOURNEY SONG (W De La Mare
This was one of my favorite adventure poems as a child, and I even finished the thick book it was in. Maybe I should re-read it:

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.

Wonder if it has a tune?

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

Cheerily,
