I	A
	-
There runs a road by Merrow Down	B
A grassy track to day it is	C
An hour out Guildford town	B
Above the river Wey it is	C
	-
Here when they heard the hors bells ring	D
The ancient Britons dressed and rode	E
To which the dark Phoenicians bring	D
Their goods along the Western Road	E
	-
Yes here or hereabouts they met	F
To hold their racial talks and such	G
To barter beads for Whitby jet	F
And tin for gay shell torques and such	G
	-
But long ago before that time	H
When bison used to roam on it	I
Did Taffy and her Daddy climb	H
That Down and had their home on it	I
	-
Then beavers built in Broadstonebrook	D
And made a swamp where Bramley stands	J
And bears from Shere would come and look	D
For Taffimai where Shamley stands	J
	-
The Wey that Taffy called Wagai	D
Was more than six times bigger then	K
And all the Tribe of Tegumai	H
They cut a noble figure then	K
	-
	-
II	A
	-
Of all the Tribe of Tegumai	H
Who cut that figure none remain	L
On Merrow Down the cuckoos cry	A
The silence and the sun remain	L
	-
But as the faithful years return	M
And hearts unwounded sing again	K
Comes Taffy dancing through the fern	M
To lead the Surrey spring again	K
	-
Her brows are bound with bracken fronds	N
And golden elf locks fly above	O
Her eyes are bright as diamonds	P
And bluer than the sky above	O
	-
In moccasins and deer skin cloak	D
Unfearing free and fair she flits	P
And lights her little damp wood smoke	D
To show her Daddy where she flits	P
	-
For far oh very far behind	Q
So far she cannot call to him	H
Comes Tegumai alone to find	Q
The daughter that was all to him	H
