I will tell the children,
You may take your share;

But leave a few to spare...

Cuddle down to hide themselves;
Into fluffy beds they creep,
Say good-night, and go to sleep.

“My shoots are tipped with buds as dusty-grey
As ancient pilgrims toiling on their way.”
The Wayfaring tree is a sign that you are on or near a path. It was plentiful on the medieval pilgrim route from London to Canterbury.
