When the pods went pop on the broom green broom	A
And apples began to be golden skinn'd	B
We harbour'd a stag in the Priory coomb	A
And we feather'd his trail up wind up wind	C
We feather'd his trail up wind	C
A stag of warrant a stag a stag	D
A runnable stag a kingly crop	E
Brow bay and tray and three on top	E
A stag a runnable stag	D
	-
Then the huntsman's horn rang yap yap yap	F
And 'Forwards' we heard the harbourer shout	G
But 'twas only a brocket that broke a gap	F
In the beechen underwood driven out	G
From the underwood antler'd out	G
By warrant and might of the stag the stag	D
The runnable stag whose lordly mind	C
Was bent on sleep though beam'd and tined	C
He stood a runnable stag	D
	-
So we tufted the covert till afternoon	H
With Tinkerman's Pup and Bell of the North	I
And hunters were sulky and hounds out of tune	H
Before we tufted the right stag forth	I
Before we tufted him forth	I
The stag of warrant the wily stag	D
The runnable stag with his kingly crop	E
Brow bay and tray and three on top	E
The royal and runnable stag	D
	-
It was Bell of the North and Tinkerman's Pup	J
That stuck to the scent till the copse was drawn	K
'Tally ho tally ho ' and the hunt was up	J
The tufters whipp'd and the pack laid on	L
The resolute pack laid on	L
And the stag of warrant away at last	C
The runnable stag the same the same	A
His hoofs on fire his horns like flame	A
A stag a runnable stag	D
	-
'Let your gelding be if you check or chide	C
He stumbles at once and you're out of the hunt	C
For three hundred gentlemen able to ride	C
On hunters accustom'd to bear the brunt	C
Accustom'd to bear the brunt	C
Are after the runnable stag the stag	D
The runnable stag with his kingly crop	E
Brow bay and tray and three on top	E
The right the runnable stag	D
	-
By perilous paths in coomb and dell	M
The heather the rocks and the river bed	C
The pace grew hot for the scent lay well	M
And a runnable stag goes right ahead	C
The quarry went right ahead	C
Ahead ahead and fast and far	N
His antler'd crest his cloven hoof	O
Brow bay and tray and three aloof	O
The stag the runnable stag	D
	-
For a matter of twenty miles and more	P
By the densest hedge and the highest wall	Q
Through herds of bullocks lie baffled the lore	P
Of harbourer huntsman hounds and all	Q
Of harbourer hounds and all	Q
The stag of warrant the wily stag	D
For twenty miles and five and five	R
He ran and he never was caught alive	R
This stag this runnable stag	D
	-
When he turn'd at bay in the leafy gloom	A
In the emerald gloom where the brook ran deep	S
He heard in the distance the rollers boom	A
And he saw In a vision of peaceful sleep	S
In a wonderful vision of sleep	S
A stag of warrant a stag a stag	D
A runnable stag in a jewell'd bed	C
Under the sheltering ocean dead	C
A stag a runnable stag	D
	-
So a fateful hope lit up his eye	T
And he open'd his nostrils wide again	U
And he toss'd his branching antlers high	T
As he headed the hunt down the Charlock glen	U
As he raced down the echoing glen	U
For five miles more the stag the stag	D
For twenty miles and five and five	R
Not to be caught now dead or alive	R
The stag the runnable stag	D
	-
Three hundred gentleman able to ride	C
Three hundred horses as gallant and free	V
Beheld him escape on the evening tide	C
Far out till he sank in the Severn Sea	V
Till he sank in the depths of the sea	V
The stag the buoyant stag the stag	D
That slept at last in a jewell'd bed	C
Under the sheltering ocean spread	C
The stag the runnable stag	D
