william wordsworth: the reverie of poor susan - v. c. clinton-baddeley lyrics lyrics

Loading...

at the corner of wood street, when daylight appears
hangs a thrush that sings loud, it has sung for three years:
poor susan has passed by the spot, and has heard
in the silence of morning the song of the bird

’tis a note of enchantment; what ails her? she sees
a mountain ascending, a vision of trees;
bright volumes of vapour through lothbury glide
and a river flows on through the vale of cheapside

green pastures she views in the midst of the dale
down which she so often has tripped with her pail;
and a single small cottage, a nest like a dove’s
the one only dwelling on earth that she loves

she looks, and her heart is in heaven: but they fade
the mist and the river, the hill and the shade:
the stream will not flow, and the hill will not rise
and the colours have all passed away from her eyes!
