The Hope of the Katzekopfs; or, The Sorrows of Selfishness. A Fairy Tale.
CHAPTER V.
The Heirs on their Travels.
“O see ye not yon narrow road, So thick beset with thorns and briers? That is the path of righteousness, Though after it but few inquires.
“And see ye not that braid, braid road, That lies across that lily leven? That is the path of wickedness, Though some call it the road to heaven.
“And see ye not that bonny road, That winds about the fernie brae? That is the road to fair Elf-land, Where thou and I this night maun gae.”
_Thomas the Rhymer._
