Poem by Edward Thomas
Music by Toby Darling

lyrics

As The Clouds That Are So Light,

D7 Gm Cm
As the clouds that are so light,
Bb Cm Gm
Beautiful, swift, and bright,
F Gm
Cast shadows on field and park
F D7
Of the earth that is so dark,

Cm F
And even so now, light one!
Eb Bb Cm
Beautiful, swift and bright one!
F Cm
You let fall on a heart that was dark,
Bb Eb D7
Unillumined, a deeper mark.

Gm Dm
But clouds would have, without earth
Gm Dm
To shadow, far less worth:
Cm Bb
Away from your shadow on me
Cm Gm
Your beauty less would be,

[as per verse 1]
And if it still be treasured
An age hence, it shall be measured
By this small dark spot
Without which it were not.
Edward Thomas
