lyrics

For These




F Am Gm C
An acre of land between the shore and the hills,
F C Gm Bb
Upon a ledge that shows my kingdoms three,
Am Gm Am Gm
The lovely visible earth and sky and sea
F C Gm C
Where what the curlew needs not, the farmer tills:

Gm F C Gm
A house that shall love me as I love it,
C Gm F C
Well-hedged, and honoured by a few ash trees
Gm F C Gm
That linnets, greenfinches, and goldfinches
Bb F C
Shall often visit and make love in and flit:

A garden I need never go beyond,
Broken but neat, whose sunflowers every one
Are fit to be the sign of the Rising Sun:
A spring, a brook's bend, or at least a pond:

For these I ask not, but, neither too late
Nor yet too early, for what men call content,
And also that something may be sent
To be contented with, I ask of Fate.
Edward Thomas :
