The river reaches wind | A |
The whispering trees accept the breeze | B |
The ripple's cool and kind | A |
With love low whispered 'twixt the shores | C |
With rippling laughters gay | D |
With white arms bared to ply the oars | C |
On last year's first of May | D |
Between Holmscote and Hurstcote | A |
The river's brimmed with rain | E |
Through close met banks and parted banks | F |
Now near now far again | G |
With parting tears caressed to smiles | H |
With meeting promised soon | I |
With every sweet vow that beguiles | H |
On last year's first of June | I |
Between Holmscote and Hurstcote | A |
The river's flecked with foam | J |
'Neath shuddering clouds that hang in shrouds | H |
And lost winds wild for home | J |
With infant wailings at the breast | A |
With homeless steps astray | D |
With wanderings shuddering tow'rds one rest | A |
On this year's first of May | D |
Between Holmscote and Hurstcote | A |
The summer river flows | H |
With doubled flight of moons by night | A |
And lilies' deep repose | H |
With lo beneath the moon's white stare | K |
A white face not the moon | I |
With lilies meshed in tangled hair | K |
On this year's first of June | I |
Between Holmscote and Hurstcote | A |
A troth was given and riven | L |
From heart's trust grew one life to two | M |
Two lost lives cry to Heaven | L |
With banks spread calm to meet the sky | N |
With meadows newly mowed | A |
The harvest paths of glad July | N |
The sweet school children's road | A |
