Air Carnaval de VeniseA
-
LET Housman sing of Severn shoreB
Of Thames let Arnold singC
But we will sing no river moreB
Save this where crowbars ringC
Let others sing of HenleyD
Of fashion and renownE
But we will sing the thirteen locksA
That lead to Tonbridge townE
Then sing the Kentish riverF
The Kentish fields and flowersA
We waste no dreams on other streamsA
Who call the Medway oursA
-
-
When on the level golden meadsA
The evening sunshine liesA
The little voles among the reedsA
Look out with wondering eyesA
The patient anglers lingerF
The placid stream besideG
Where still with towering tarry prowH
The stately barges glideG
Then sing the Kentish riverF
The Kentish fields and flowersA
We waste no dreams on other streamsA
Who call the Medway oursA
-
-
On Medway banks the May droops whiteI
The wild rose blossoms fairJ
O'er meadow sweet and loosestrife brightI
For water nymphs to wearJ
And mid the blowing rushesA
Pan pipes a joyous songK
And woodland things peep from the shadeL
As soft we glide alongK
Then sing the Kentish riverF
The Kentish fields and flowersA
We waste no dreams on other streamsA
Who call the Medway oursA
-
-
You see no freight on Medway boatsA
Of fashions fine and rareJ
But happy men in shabby coatsA
And girls with wind kissed hairJ
The world's a pain forgottenM
And very far awayN
The stream that flows the boat that goesA
These are our world to dayN
Then sing the Kentish riverF
The Kentish fields and flowersA
We waste no dreams on other streamsA
Who call the Medway oursA
