Allons! the road is before us!
 It is safe -- I have tried it -- my own feet have
   tried it well -- be not detain'd!

Let the paper remain on the desk unwritten,
   and the book on the shelf unopen'd!
 Let the tools remain in the workshop! let
   the money remain unearn'd!
 Let the school stand! mind not the cry of 
   the teacher!
 Let the preacher preach in his pulpit! let the
   lawyer plead in the court, and the judge
   expound the law.

Camerado, I give you my hand!
 I give you my love more precious than
   money,
 I give you myself before preaching or law;
 Will you give me yourself? will you come 
   travel with me?
 Shall we stick by each other as long as we
   live?
