Projects go ever on...

I think I posted the following verse as a comment on someone's blog a few days ago, but can\t remember whose.  He was commenting on the continual picking up of projects and then, before 'finishing' them off, moving on to others.  It is a fault to which a have to plead guilty, myself.  readers of Tolkien will recall something very like this:

Projects go ever on: 

Building rock  and building tree,

Hills and woods where no sun has shone,

And streams that reach the edge - no sea;

Over snow by flour strewn,

Or grass-mat cornfield in steamy June;

From deepest night to highest noon,

From brightest day to darkest moon -

Projects go ever on.

The plastic and metal soldiers tread,

Uniforms to be painted on,

Blue and green and white and red...
