Oh water water water deep and still	A
In this hollow of the hill	A
Thou helenge well o'er which the long reeds lean	B
Here a stream and there a stream	C
And thou so still between	B
Thro' thy coloured dream	C
Thro' the drown d face	D
Of this lone leafy place	D
Down down so deep and chill	A
I see the pebbles gleam	C
	-
	-
Ash tree ash tree	E
Bending o'er the well	F
Why there thou bendest	G
Kind hearts can tell	F
'Tis that the pool is deep	H
'Tis that a single leap	H
And the pool closes	I
And in the solitude	G
Of this wild mountain wood	G
None none would hear her cry	J
From this bank where she stood	G
To that peak in the sky	J
Where the cloud dozes	I
	-
	-
Ash tree ash tree	E
That art so sweet and good	G
If any creeping thing	K
Among the summer games in the wild roses	I
Fall from its airy swing	K
While all its pigmy kind	G
Watch from some imminent rose leaf half uncurled	G
I know thou hast it full in mind	G
While yet the drowning minim lives	L
And blots the shining water where it strives	M
To touch it with a finger soft and kind	G
As when the gentle sun ere day is hot	G
Feels for a little shadow in a grot	G
And gives it to the shades behind the world	G
	-
	-
And oh if some poor fool	N
Should seek the fatal pool	N
Thine arms ah yes I know	O
For this thou watchest days and months and years	P
For this dost bend beside	G
The lone and lorn well side	G
The guardian angel of the doom below	O
Content if once an age thy helping hand	G
May lift repentant madness to the land	G
Content to hear the cry	J
Of living love from lips that would have died	G
To seem awhile endowed	G
With all thy limbs did save	Q
And in that voice they drew out of the grave	Q
To feel thy dumb desire for once released aloud	G
And all thy muffled century	E
Repaid in one wild hour of sobs and smiles and tears	R
	-
	-
Aye aye I envy thee	E
Pitiful ash tree	E
	-
	-
Water water water deep and still	A
In the hollow of the hill	A
Water water well I wot	G
Thro' the weary hours	S
Well I wot thee lying there	T
As fair as false as false as fair	T
The crows they fly o'er	U
The small birds flit about	G
The stream it ripples in the stream it ripples out	G
But what eye ever knew	V
A rinkle wimple thee	E
And what eye shall see	E
A rinkle wimple thee	E
Evermore	W
Thro' thy gauds and mocks	X
All thy thin enchantment thro'	W
The green delusion of thy bowers	S
The cold flush of thy feign d flowers	S
All the treacherous state	G
Of fair things small and great	G
That are and are not	G
Well I wot thee shining there	W
As fair as false as false as fair	W
Thro' the liquid rocks	X
Thro' the watery trees	Y
Thro' the grass that never grew	W
Thro' a face God never made	G
Thro' the frequent gain and loss	Z
Of the cold cold shine and shade	G
Thro' the subtle fern and moss	Z
Thro' the humless hiveless bees	Y
Round the ghosts of buds asleep	H
Thro' the disembodied rose	A2
Waving waving in the deep	H
Where never wind blows	A2
I look down and see far down	B2
In clear depths that do nothing hide	G
Green in green and brown in brown	B2
The long fish turn and glide	G
	-
	-
Ash tree ash tree	W
Bending o'er the water	W
Ash tree ash tree	W
Hadst thou a daughter	W
Ash tree ash tree let me draw near	W
Ash tree ash tree a word in thine ear	W
	-
	-
Thou art wizen and white ash tree	W
Other trees have gone on	C2
Have gathered and grown	D2
Have bourgeoned and borne	E2
Thou hast wasted and worn	E2
	-
	-
Thy knots are all eyes	F2
Every knot a dumb eye	J
That has seen a sight	G
And heard a cry	J
	-
	-
Thy leaves are dry	J
The summer has not gone by	J
But they're withered and dead	G
Like locks round a head	G
That is bald with a secret sin	G2
That is scorched by a hell within	G2
	-
	-
Thy skin	G2
Is withered and wan	C2
Like a guilty man	H2
It was thin	G2
Aye silken and thin	G2
It is houghed	G
And ploughed	G
Like a murderer's skin	G2
Thou hast no shoots nor wands	I2
All thy arms turn to the deep	H
All thy twigs are crooked	G
Twined and twisted	G
Fingered and fisted	G
Like one who had looked	G
On wringing hands	J2
'Till his hands were wrung in his sleep	H
	-
	-
Pardon my doubt of thee	W
What is this	K2
In the very groove	L2
Of thy right arm	M2
There is not a snake	N2
So yellow and red	G
There is not a toad	G
So sappy and dread	G
It doth not move	L2
It doth not hiss	K2
Ash tree for God's sake	N2
Hast thou known	D2
What hath not been said	G
And the summer sun	O2
Cannot keep it warm	P2
And the living wood	G
Cannot shut it down	B2
And it grows out of thee	W
And will be told	G
Bloody as blood	G
And yellow as gold	G
	-
	-
Ash tree ash tree	W
That once wert so green	B
Ash tree ash tree	W
What hast thou seen	B
Was I a mother nay or aye	J
Am I childless aye nor nay	Q2
Ash tree ash tree	W
Bending o'er the water	W
Ash tree ash tree	W
Give me my daughter	W
Curse the water	W
Curse thee	W
Ash tree	W
Bending o'er the water	W
Leaf on the tree	W
Flower on the stem	R2
Curse thee	W
And curse them	R2
Trunk and shoot	G
Herb and weed	G
Bud and fruit	G
Blossom and seed	G
Above and below	O
About and about	G
Inside and out	G
Grown and to grow	O
Curse you all	S2
Great and small	S2
That cannot give back my daughter	W
	-
	-
But if there were any	W
Among so many	W
Any small thing that did lie sweet for her	W
Any newt or marish worm that shrinking	K
Under the pillow of the water weed	G
Left her a cleaner bed	G
Any least leaves that fell with little plashes	K2
And sinking sinking	K
Sank soft and slow and settled on her lashes	K2
And did what was so meet for her	W
Them I do not curse	K2
	-
	-
See see up the glen	T2
The evening sun agen	T2
It falls upon the water	W
It falls upon the grass	K2
Thro' the birches thro' the firs	K2
Thro' the alders catching gold	G
Thro' the bracken and the brier	W
Goes the evening fire	W
To the bush linnet's nest	G
	-
	-
There between us and the west	G
Dost thou see the angels pass	K2
Thro' the air with streaming hair	W
The golden angels pass	K2
Hold hold for mercy hold	G
I know thee ah I know thee	W
I know thou wilt not pass me so	K2
The gray old woman is ready to go	K2
Call me to thee call me to thee	W
My daughter oh my daughter	W
