ghizela rowe - william morris - a garden by the sea lyrics

i know a little garden+close
set thick with lily and red rose
where i would wander if i might
from dewy morn to dewy night
and have one with me wandering

and though within it no birds sing
and though no pillared house is there
and though the apple+boughs are bare
of fruit and blossom, would to god
her feet upon the green grass trod
and i beheld them as before

there comes a murmur from the shore
and in the close two fair+streams are
drawn from the purple hills afar
drawn down unto the restless sea:
dark hills whose heath+bloom feeds no bee
dark shore no ship has ever seen
tormented by the billows green
whose murmur comes unceasingly
unto the place for which i cry

for which i cry both day and night
for which i let slip all delight
whereby i grow both deaf and blind
careless to win, unsk!lled to find
and quick to lose what all men seek
yet tottering as i am and weak
still have i left a little breath
to seek within the jaws of death
an entrance to that happy place
to seek the unforgotten face
once seen, once kissed, once reft from me
anigh the murmuring of the sea

- ghizela rowe lyrics
