A Conversation	B
	-
We talked with open heart and tongue	C
Affectionate and true	D
A pair of friends though I was young	C
And Matthew seventy two	D
	-
We lay beneath a spreading oak	E
Beside a mossy seat	F
And from the turf a fountain broke	E
And gurgled at our feet	F
	-
Now Matthew ' said I let us match	G
This water's pleasant tune	H
With some old border song or catch	G
That suits a summer's noon	H
	-
Or of the church clock and the chimes	I
Sing here beneath the shade	J
That half mad thing of witty rhymes	I
Which you last April made '	-
	-
In silence Matthew lay and eyed	K
The spring beneath the tree	L
And thus the dear old man replied	K
The grey haired man of glee	L
	-
No check no stay this streamlet fears	M
How merrily it goes	N
'Twill murmur on a thousand years	M
And flow as now it flows	N
	-
And here on this delightful day	O
I cannot choose but think	P
How oft a vigorous man I lay	O
Beside this fountain's brink	P
	-
My eyes are dim with childish tears	Q
My heart is idly stirred	R
For the same sound is in my ears	M
Which in those days I heard	R
	-
Thus fares it still in our decay	O
And yet the wiser mind	S
Mourns less for what Age takes away	O
Than what it leaves behind	S
	-
The blackbird amid leafy trees	T
The lark above the hill	U
Let loose their carols when they please	T
Are quiet when they will	U
	-
With Nature never do they wage	V
A foolish strife they see	L
A happy youth and their old age	V
Is beautiful and free	L
	-
But we are pressed by heavy laws	W
And often glad no more	X
We wear a face of joy because	W
We have been glad of yore	X
	-
If there be one who need bemoan	Y
His kindred laid in earth	Z
The household hearts that were his own	Y
It is the man of mirth	Z
	-
My days my friend are almost gone	A2
My life has been approved	B2
And many love me but by none	B
Am I enough beloved '	-
	-
Now both himself and me he wrongs	C2
The man who thus complains	D2
I live and sing my idle songs	C2
Upon these happy plains	D2
	-
And Matthew for thy children dead	E2
I'll be a son to thee '	-
At this he grasped my hand and said	E2
Alas that cannot be '	-
	-
We rose up from the fountain side	K
And down the smooth descent	F2
Of the green sheep track did we glide	K
And through the wood we went	F2
	-
And ere we came to Leonard's Rock	G2
He sang those witty rhymes	I
About the crazy old church clock	G2
And the bewildered chimes	I
