tim graham - the mother's return - william wordsworth lyrics
a month, sweet little+ones, is past
since your dear mother went away
and she tomorrow will return;
tomorrow is the happy day
o blessed tidings! thoughts of joy!
the eldest heard with steady glee;
silent he stood; then laughed amain
and shouted, ‘mother, come to me!’
louder and louder did he shout
with witless hope to bring her near!
‘nay, patience! patience, little boy;
your tender mother cannot hear.’
i told of hills, and far+off towns
and long, long vales to travel through;
hе listened, puzzled, sorе perplexed
but he submits; what can he do?
no strike disturbs his sister’s breast;
she wars not with the mystery
of time and distance, night and day;
the bonds of our humanity
her joy is like an instinct, joy
of kitten, bird, or summer fly;
she dances, runs without an aim
she chatters in her ecstasy
her brother now takes up the note
and echoes back his sister’s glee;
they hug the infant in my arms
as if to force his sympathy
then, settling into fond discourse
we rested in the garden bower;
while sweetly shone the evening sun
in his departing hour
we told o’er all that we had done
our rambles by the swift brook’s side
far as the willow+skirted pool
where two fair swans together glide
we talked of change, of winter gone
of green leaves on the hawth+rn spray
of birds that build their nests and sing
and all ‘since mother went away!’
to her these tales they will repeat
to her our new+born tribes will show
the goslings green, the ass’s colt
the lambs that in the meadow go
— but see, the evening star comes forth!
to bed the children must depart;
a moment’s heaviness they feel
a sadness at the heart:
’tis gone — and in a merry fit
they run up stairs in gamesome race;
i, too, infected by their mood
i could have joined the wanton chase
five minutes past — and, o the change!
asleep upon their beds they lie;
their busy limbs in perfect rest
and closed the sparkling eye
