- | |
We work here together | B |
In blast and breeze | C |
He fills the earth in | D |
I hold the trees | C |
- | |
He does not notice | E |
That what I do | F |
Keeps me from moving | G |
And chills me through | F |
- | |
He has seen one fairer | B |
I feel by his eye | A |
Which skims me as though | H |
I were not by | A |
- | |
And since she passed here | I |
He scarce has known | J |
But that the woodland | K |
Holds him alone | J |
- | |
I have worked here with him | L |
Since morning shine | M |
He busy with his thoughts | N |
And I with mine | M |
- | |
I have helped him so many | O |
So many days | P |
But never win any | O |
Small word of praise | P |
- | |
Shall I not sigh to him | L |
That I work on | Q |
Glad to be nigh to him | L |
Though hope is gone | R |
- | |
Nay though he never | B |
Knew love like mine | M |
I'll bear it ever | B |
And make no sign | M |
- | |
II | A |
- | |
From the bundle at hand here | I |
I take each tree | O |
And set it to stand here | I |
Always to be | O |
When in a second | S |
As if from fear | T |
Of Life unreckoned | S |
Beginning here | I |
It starts a sighing | G |
Through day and night | S |
Though while there lying | G |
'Twas voiceless quite | S |
- | |
It will sigh in the morning | G |
Will sigh at noon | U |
At the winter's warning | G |
In wafts of June | U |
Grieving that never | B |
Kind Fate decreed | S |
It should for ever | B |
Remain a seed | S |
And shun the welter | B |
Of things without | S |
Unneeding shelter | B |
From storm and drought | S |
- | |
Thus all unknowing | G |
For whom or what | S |
We set it growing | G |
In this bleak spot | S |
It still will grieve here | I |
Throughout its time | V |
Unable to leave here | I |
Or change its clime | V |
Or tell the story | O |
Of us to day | S |
When halt and hoary | O |
We pass away | S |
