Let the blow fall soon or late;
Let what will be o’er me.

And the road before me.

Nor a friend to know me.
All i ask the heaven above,
And the road below me.

It also shows the poet’s strong desires to lead a carefree life without tearing neither death nor the severe weather conditions.He stresses on the wish of the vagabond that he does not want wealth , hope or friend , but he only wants to roam on the roads before him under the sky full of stars.
