ON THE HILLA
-
The lights and shadows flyB
Yonder it brightens and darkens down on the plainC
A jewel a jewel dear to a lover's eyeB
Oh is it the brook or a pool or her window paneC
When the winds are up in the morningD
-
Clouds that are racing aboveE
And winds and lights and shadows that cannot be stillA
All running on one way to the home of my loveE
You are all running on and I stand on the slope of the hillA
And the winds are up in the morningD
-
Follow follow the chaseF
And my thoughts are as quick and as quick ever on on onG
O lights are you flying over her sweet little faceF
And my heart is there before you are come and goneH
When the winds are up in the morningD
-
Follow them down the slopeI
And I follow them down to the window pane of my dearJ
And it brightens and darkens and brightens like my hopeI
And it darkens and brightens and darkens like my fearJ
And the winds are up in the morningD
-
AT THE WINDOWK
-
Vine vine and eglantineL
Clasp her window trail and twineL
Rose rose and clematisM
Trail and twine and clasp and kissM
Kiss kiss and make her a bowerN
All of flowers and drop me a flowerN
Drop me a flowerN
-
Vine vine and eglantineL
Cannot a flower a flower be mineL
Rose rose and clematisM
Drop me a flower a flower to kissM
Kiss kiss and out of her bowerN
All of flowers a flower a flowerN
Dropt a flowerN
-
GONEH
-
GoneH
Gone till the end of the yearJ
Gone and the light gone with her and left me in shadow hereO
Gone flitted awayP
Taken the stars from the night and the sun from the dayP
Gone and a cloud in my heart and a storm in the airQ
Flown to the east or the west flitted I know not whereQ
Down in the south is a flash and a groan she is there she is thereQ
-
WINTERN
-
The frost is hereO
And fuel is clearJ
And woods are searJ
And fires burn clearJ
And frost is hereO
And has bitten the heel of the going yearJ
-
Bite frost biteR
You roll up away from the lightR
The blue wood louse and the plump dormouseS
And the bees are still'd and the flies are kill'dT
And you bite far into the heart of the houseS
But not into mineL
-
Bite frost biteR
The woods are all the searerJ
The fuel is all the dearerJ
The fires are all the clearerJ
My spring is all the nearerJ
You have bitten into the heart of the earthU
But not into mineL
-
SPRINGD
-
Birds' love and birds' songV
Flying here and thereJ
Birds' song and birds' loveE
And you with gold for hairJ
Birds' song and birds' loveE
Passing with the weatherJ
Men's song and men's loveE
To love once and for everJ
-
Men's love and birds' loveE
And women's love and men'sW
And you my wren with a crown of goldX
You my queen of the wrensW
You the queen of the wrensW
We'll be birds of a featherJ
I'll be King of the Queen of the wrensW
And all in a nest togetherJ
-
THE LETTERJ
-
Where is another sweet as my sweetY
Fine of the fine and shy of the shyB
Fine little hands fine little feetY
Dewy blue eyeB
Shall I write to her shall I goK
Ask her to marry me by and byB
Somebody said that she'd say noK
Somebody knows that she'll say ayP
-
Ay or no if ask'd to her faceW
Ay or no from shy of the shyB
Go little letter apace apaceW
FlyB
Fly to the light in the valley belowK
Tell my wish to her dewy blue eyeB
Somebody said that she'd say noK
Somebody knows that she'll say ayP
-
NO ANSWERJ
-
The mist and the rain the mist and the rainC
Is it ay or no is it ay or noK
And never a glimpse of her window paneC
And I may die but the grass will growK
And the grass will grow when I am goneH
And the wet west wind and the world will go onG
-
Ay is the song of the wedded spheresW
No is trouble and cloud and stormZ
Ay is life for a hundred yearsW
No will push me down to the wormA2
And when I am there and dead and goneH
The wet west wind and the world will go onG
-
The wind and the wet the wind and the wetB2
Wet west wind how you blow you blowK
And never a line from my lady yetB2
Is it ay or no is it ay or noK
Blow then blow and when I am goneH
The wet west wind and the world may go onG

Be merry on earth as you never were merry beforeJ
Be merry in heaven O larks and far awayP
And merry for ever and ever and one day moreJ
WhyB
For it's easy to find a rhymeJ2
Look look how he flitsW
The fire crown'd king of the wrens from out of the pineL
Look how they tumble the blossom the mad little titsW
'Cuck oo Cuck oo ' was ever a May so fineL
WhyB
For it's easy to find a rhymeJ2
O merry the linnet and doveE
And swallow and sparrow and throstle and have your desireJ
O merry my heart you have gotten the wings of loveE
And flit like the king of the wrens with a crown of fireJ

Love fix a dayP

'A week hence a week hence '-
'Ah the long delay '-
'Wait a little wait a littleK2
You shall fix a day '-

'To morrow love to morrowK
And that's an age away '-
Blaze upon her window sunI2
And honour all the dayP

MARRIAGE MORNINGD
-
Light so low upon earthU
You send a flash to the sunI2
Here is the golden close of loveE
All my wooing is doneI2
Oh the woods and the meadowsW
Woods where we hid from the wetB2
Stiles where we stay'd to be kindL2
Meadows in which we metB2
-
Light so low in the valeM2
You flash and lighten afarJ
For this is the golden morning of loveE
And you are his morning starJ
Flash I am coming I comeC2
By meadow and stile and woodN2
Oh lighten into my eyes and my heartG2
Into my heart and my bloodO2
-
Heart are you great enoughP2
For a love that never tiresW
O heart are you great enough for loveE
I have heard of thorns and briersW
Over the thorns and briersW
Over the meadows and stilesW
Over the world to the end of itQ2
Flash for a million milesW

Alfred Lord Tennyson
