The night above the dingle starry | B |
Time let me hail and climb | C |
Golden in the heydays of his eyes | D |
And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns | E |
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves | F |
Trail with daisies and barley | B |
Down the rivers of the windfall light | G |
- | |
And as I was green and carefree famous among the barns | H |
About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home | I |
In the sun that is young once only | B |
Time let me play and be | B |
Golden in the mercy of his means | J |
And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman the calves | K |
Sang to my horn the foxes on the hills barked clear and | L |
cold | M |
And the sabbath rang slowly | B |
In the pebbles of the holy streams | N |
- | |
All the sun long it was running it was lovely the hay | O |
Fields high as the house the tunes from the chimneys it was | P |
air | Q |
And playing lovely and watery | B |
And fire green as grass | R |
And nightly under the simple stars | S |
As I rode to sleep the owls were bearing the farm away | O |
All the moon long I heard blessed among stables the | T |
nightjars | S |
Flying with the ricks and the horses | S |
Flashing into the dark | U |
- | |
And then to awake and the farm like a wanderer white | G |
With the dew come back the cock on his shoulder it was all | V |
Shining it was Adam and maiden | W |
The sky gathered again | X |
And the sun grew round that very day | O |
So it must have been after the birth of the simple light | G |
In the first spinning place the spellbound horses walking | Y |
warm | Z |
Out of the whinnying green stable | A2 |
On to the fields of praise | S |
- | |
And honoured among foxes and pheasants by the gay house | S |
Under the new made clouds and happy as the heart was long | B2 |
In the sun born over and over | C2 |
I ran my heedless ways | S |
My wishes raced through the house high hay | O |
And nothing I cared at my sky blue trades that time allows | S |
In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs | S |
Before the children green and golden | W |
Follow him out of grace | S |
- | |
Nothing I cared in the lamb white days that time would | D2 |
take me | B |
Up to the swallow thronged loft by the shadow of my hand | E2 |
In the moon that is always rising | Y |
Nor that riding to sleep | F2 |
I should hear him fly with the high fields | S |
And wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land | E2 |
Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means | S |
Time held me green and dying | Y |
Though I sang in my chains like the sea | B |
