There's never a hill it does not climb
  To catch at the purple mist,
And never a vale where the twilights fail
  Where it has not held a tryst.

The road to my Dreams is a gypsy trail
  With a campfire under the sky,
And the patteran laid, in shadow and shade,
  Lest One should pass me by.

The road to my Dreams? 'Tis a city street
  Where, out in the surging throng,
I glimpse a face with a luring grace
  And the day is set to a song!

Oh, the paths of the whole wide world are yours,
  O'er mountains and valleys and streams,
But you may not dare to follow where
  I travel to reach my Dreams.

For at every bend of the Wander-Way
  I set up a trespass sign,
And I hold the road by the royal code
  That what I have staked is mine!
