There was a Boy ye knew him well ye cliffs	A
And islands of Winander many a time	B
At evening when the earliest stars began	C
To move along the edges of the hills	D
Rising or setting would he stand alone	E
Beneath the trees or by the glimmering lake	F
And there with fingers interwoven both hands	G
Pressed closely palm to palm and to his mouth	H
Uplifted he as through an instrument	I
Blew mimic hootings to the silent owls	J
That they might answer him And they would shout	K
Across the watery vale and shout again	L
Responsive to his call with quivering peals	J
And long halloos and screams and echoes loud	M
Redoubled and redoubled concourse wild	N
Of jocund din And when there came a pause	J
Of silence such as baffled his best skill	O
Then sometimes in that silence while he hung	P
Listening a gentle shock of mild surprise	J
Has carried far into his heart the voice	J
Of mountain torrents or the visible scene	Q
Would enter unawares into his mind	R
With all its solemn imagery its rocks	J
Its woods and that uncertain heaven received	S
Into the bosom of the steady lake	F
	-
This boy was taken from his mates and died	T
In childhood ere he was full twelve years old	U
Pre eminent in beauty is the vale	V
Where he was born and bred the churchyard hangs	J
Upon a slope above the village school	W
And through that churchyard when my way has led	X
On summer evenings I believe that there	Y
A long half hour together I have stood	Z
Mute looking at the grave in which he lies	J
