richard mitchley - a e houseman - when summer's end is nighing lyrics

Loading...

when summer’s end is nighing
and skies at evening cloud
i muse on change and fortune
and all the feats i vowed
when i was young and proud

the weatherc+ck at sunset
would lose the slanted ray
and i would climb the beacon
that looked to wales away
and saw the last of day

from hill and cloud and heaven
the hues of evening died;
night welled through lane and hollow
and hushed the countryside
but i had youth and pride

and i with earth and nightfall
in converse high would stand
latе, till the west was ashen
and darknеss hard at hand
and the eye lost the land

the year might age, and cloudy
the lessening day might close
but air of other summers
breathed from beyond the snows
and i had hope of those
they came and were and are not
and come no more anew;
and all the years and seasons
that ever can ensue
must now be worse and few

so here’s an end of roaming
on eves when autumn nighs:
the ear too fondly listens
for summer’s parting sighs
and then the heart replies
