And is this Yarrow This the stream	A
Of which my fancy cherished	B
So faithfully a waking dream	A
An image that hath perished	B
O that some Minstrel's harp were near	C
To utter notes of gladness	D
And chase this silence from the air	E
That fills my heart with sadness	D
	-
Yet why a silvery current flows	D
With uncontrolled meanderings	D
Nor have these eyes by greener hills	D
Been soothed in all my wanderings	D
And through her depths Saint Mary's Lake	F
Is visibly delighted	G
For not a feature of those hills	D
Is in the mirror slighted	H
	-
A blue sky bends o'er Yarrow vale	I
Save where that pearly whiteness	D
Is round the rising sun diffused	J
A tender hazy brightness	D
Mild dawn of promise that excludes	D
All profitless dejection	K
Though not unwilling here to admit	L
A pensive recollection	K
	-
Where was it that the famous Flower	M
Of Yarrow Vale lay bleeding	N
His bed perchance was yon smooth mound	O
On which the herd is feeding	N
And haply from this crystal pool	P
Now peaceful as the morning	N
The Water wraith ascended thrice	D
And gave his doleful warning	N
	-
Delicious is the Lay that sings	D
The haunts of happy Lovers	D
The path that leads them to the grove	Q
The leafy grove that covers	D
And Pity sanctifies the Verse	D
That paints by strength of sorrow	R
The unconquerable strength of love	S
Bear witness rueful Yarrow	R
	-
But thou that didst appear so fair	E
To fond imagination	K
Dost rival in the light of day	T
Her delicate creation	K
Meek loveliness is round thee spread	U
A softness still and holy	V
The grace of forest charms decayed	W
And pastoral melancholy	V
	-
That region left the vale unfolds	D
Rich groves of lofty stature	M
With Yarrow winding through the pomp	X
Of cultivated nature	M
And rising from those lofty groves	D
Behold a Ruin hoary	V
The shattered front of Newark's Towers	D
Renowned in Border story	V
	-
Fair scenes for childhood's opening bloom	Y
For sportive youth to stray in	K
For manhood to enjoy his strength	Z
And age to wear away in	K
Yon cottage seems a bower of bliss	D
A covert for protection	K
Of tender thoughts that nestle there	E
The brood of chaste affection	K
	-
How sweet on this autumnal day	T
The wild wood fruits to gather	M
And on my True love's forehead plant	A2
A crest of blooming heather	M
And what if I enwreathed my own	K
'Twere no offence to reason	K
The sober Hills thus deck their brows	D
To meet the wintry season	K
	-
I see but not by sight alone	K
Loved Yarrow have I won thee	V
A ray of fancy still survives	D
Her sunshine plays upon thee	V
Thy ever youthful waters keep	B2
A course of lively pleasure	M
And gladsome notes my lips can breathe	C2
Accordant to the measure	M
	-
The vapours linger round the Heights	D
They melt and soon must vanish	D2
One hour is theirs nor more is mine	K
Sad thought which I would banish	D2
But that I know where'er I go	R
Thy genuine image Yarrow	R
Will dwell with me to heighten joy	E2
And cheer my mind in sorrow	R
