IA
To a bare blue hillB
Wings an old thought roamingC
At a random touchD
Of memory homingC
-
The first of EnglandE
These eyes to fillB
Was the lifted headF
Of that proud hillB
-
As lion frontedG
Alone it wardedG
The vale and the farH
Bright West regardedI
-
Who knows what wellsJ
Are a child's unthinkingC
Eyes What skiesK
Thro' the clear of them sinkingC
-
Have for ever colouredL
A mind that springsM
From buried hope dumb prayerN
Prized small thingsM
-
Precious to dust that onceO
Throbbed in hearts nowP
Crumbled where ignorantQ
Passes the ploughP
-
-
IIA
I have walked by streamsR
In shadowy placesS
Where wild rose JuneT
With the moon embracesU
-
And smelt the magicV
Of dew drenched herbsW
In a hush that trancesW
Delights disturbsW
-
I have roamed in a frail mist'sW
Filtered goldX
The Downs so cleanlyY
And smooth and oldX
-
I know how the shower lightZ
Touches gray spiresW
In the slumbrous bosomA2
Of the elmy shiresW
-
And lying on warm thymeB2
Watched at the sheerC2
Black cliff the grand waveD2
Lunge and rearC2
-
When the whole AtlanticV
Amassed recoilsW
And in indolent thunderE2
Bursts and boilsW
-
I have followed the Romans'W
Wall that woundF2
Over lone moors leavingC
The Druid moundF2
-
In the secret hillsW
Where the lost race liesW
Dreaming the dreamG2
That the world deniesW
-
A dream that the voicesW
Of England have sungH2
That is born in the bloodI
And the eyes of the youngH2
-
-
IIIA
O English earthI2
'Mid the blown seas lyingC
Green greenJ2
When the birds come flyingC
-
Out of the empty southK2
To the old willowL2
Ash thorn chestnutM2
Boughs that they knowL2
-
Sweet sweet sweet to beY
Back in May bowersW
When the grass grows tallN2
Round the English flowersW
-
O the light on tost cloudsW
As you take to your breastO2
Your stormy loverE2
The strong South WestO2
-
That breathes a wild whisperE2
In youth's thrilled earP2
Of strange things of far thingsW
Of glory and fearC2
-
But the things that are dearestQ2
You have told them neverE2
They are deep in our veinsW
For ever and everE2
-
They come over the mindR2
When the world's noise is stillB
As to me comes the visionS2
Of one blue hillB
-
Beautiful darkT2
And solitaryY
The first of EnglandE
That spoke to meY
