Yes I have seen the ancient oak	A
On the dark deep water cast	B
And it was not fell'd by the woodman's stroke	A
Or the rush of the sweeping blast	B
For the axe might never touch that tree	C
And the air was still as a summer sea	C
	-
I saw it fall as falls a chief	D
By an arrow in the fight	E
And the old woods shook to their loftiest leaf	D
At the crashing of its might	E
And the startled deer to their coverts flew	F
And the spray of the lake as a fountain's flew	F
	-
'Tis fall'n but think thou not I weep	G
For the forest's pride o'erthrown	H
An old man's tears lie far too deep	G
To be pour'd for this alone	H
But by that sign too well I know	H
That a youthful head must soon be low	H
	-
A youthful head with its shining hair	I
And its bright quick flashing eye	J
Well may I weep for the boy is fair	I
Too fair a thing to die	J
But on his brow the mark is set	K
Oh could my life redeem him yet	K
	-
He bounded by me as I gazed	L
Alone on the fatal sign	H
And it seem'd like sunshine when he rais'd	L
His joyous glance to mine	H
With a stag's fleet step he bounded by	J
So full of life but he must die	J
	-
He must he must in that deep dell	M
By that dark water's side	N
'Tis known that ne'er a proud tree fell	M
But an heir of his fathers died	N
And he there's laughter in his eye	J
Joy in his voice yet he must die	J
	-
I 've borne him in these arms that now	H
Are nerveless and unstrung	A
And must I see on that fair brow	H
The dust untimely flung	A
I must yon green oak branch and crest	O
Lies floating on the dark lake's breast	O
	-
The noble boy how proudly sprung	A
The falcon from his hand	P
It seem'd like youth to see him young	A
A flower in his father's land	P
	-
But the hour of the knell and the dirge is nigh	J
For the tree hath fall'n and the flower must die	J
	-
Say not 'tis vain I tell thee some	Q
Are warn'd by a meteor's light	E
Or a pale bird flitting calls them home	R
Or a voice on the winds by night	E
And they must go and he too he	C
Woe for the fall of the glorious Tree	C
