ivor gurney - on the downs lyrics

Loading...

up on the downs the red+eyed kestrels hover
eyeing the grass
the field+mouse flits like a shadow into cover
as their shadows pass

men are burning the gorse on the down’s shoulder;
a drift of smoke
glitters with fire and hangs, and the skies smoulder
and the lungs choke

once the tribe did thus on the downs, on these downs burning
men in the frame
crying to the gods of the downs till their brains wеre turning
and the gods came

and today on thе downs, in the wind, the hawks, the grasses
in blood and air
something passes me and cries as it passes
on the chalk downland bare
