jill balcon - lord tennyson: the brook lyrics

Loading...

i come from haunts of coot and hern
i make a sudden sally
and sparkle out among the fern
to bicker down a valley

by thirty hills i hurry down
or slip between the ridges
by twenty thorpes, a little town
and half a hundred bridges

till last by philip’s farm i flow
to join the brimming river
for men may come and men may go
but i go on for ever

i chatter over stony ways
in little sharps and trebles
i bubble into eddying bays
i babble on the pebbles

with many a curve my banks i fret
by many a field and fallow
and many a fairy foreland set
with willow+weed and mallow

i chatter, chatter, as i flow
to join the brimming river
for men may come and men may go
but i go on for ever
i wind about, and in and out
with here a blossom sailing
and here and there a l+sty trout
and here and there a grayling

and here and there a foamy flake
upon me, as i travel
with many a silvery waterbreak
above the golden gravel

and draw them all along, and flow
to join the brimming river
for men may come and men may go
but i go on for ever

i steal by lawns and grassy plots
i slide by hazel covers;
i move the sweet forget+me+nots
that grow for happy lovers

i slip, i slide, i gloom, i glance
among my skimming swallows;
i make the netted sunbeam dance
against my sandy shallows

i murmur under moon and stars
in brambly wildernesses;
i linger by my shingly bars;
i loiter round my cresses;
and out again i curve and flow
to join the brimming river
for men may come and men may go
but i go on for ever
