Don't Drive Me Away

By Louisa May Alcott

"Don't drive me away,

        But hear what I say:

        Bad men want the gold;

        They will steal it to-night,

        And you must take flight;

        So be quiet and busy and bold."

        "Slip away with me,

        And you will see

        What a wise little thing am I;

        For the road I show

        No man can know,

        Since it's up in the pathless sky."
