EIcy wind of Anight be gone
This Eis not your domain
In the sky a Abird is heard to Ecry
AMisty morning whisperings
And Dgentle stirring soundsE Belied a Adeathly silence
EThat lay all around
AHear the lark and harken
GTo the barking F#miof the dog fox
EGone to ground
ASee the splashing
Of the Gkingfisher F#miflashing to the water
And a Ariver of green is Gsliding
UnF#miseen beneath the Etrees
ALaughing as it passes
Through the Gendless summer
F#miMaking for the Esea
In the lazy water meadow
I lay me down
All around me golden sunflakes
Settle on the ground
Basking in the sunshine
Of a by-gone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday
Into this city room
Hear the lark and harken
To the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing
Of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding
Unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes
Through the endless summer
Making for the sea
