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."
