imogen holst - teignmouth lyrics

Loading...

here all the summer could i stay
for there’s bishop’s teign
and king’s teign
and coomb at the clear teign head++
where close by the stream
you may have your cream
all spread upon barley bread

there’s arch brook
and there’s larch brook
both turning many a mill
and cooling the drouth
of the salmon’s mouth
and fattening his silver gill

there is wild wood
a mild hood
to the sheep on the lea o’ the down
where the golden furze
with its green, thin spurs
doth catch at the maiden’s gown

there is newton marsh
with its spear grass harsh++
a pleasant summer level
where the maidens sweet
of the market street
do meet in the dusk to revel
there’s the barton rich
with dyk+ and ditch
and hedge for the thrush to live in
and the hollow tree
for the buzzing bee
and a bank for the wasp to hive in

and o, and o
the daisies blow
and the primroses are waken’d
and violets white
sit in silver plight
and the green bud’s as long as the spike end

then who would go
into dark soho
and chatter with dack’d+hair’d critics
when he can stay
for the new+mown hay
and startle the dappled pr+ckets?
