The Hollow Wood


A1 A2 A3 A4
Out in the sun the goldfinch flits
Bm F#m G
Along the thistle-tops, flits and twits
D A
Above the hollow wood
A1 Bm
Where birds swim like fish -
Em A
Fish that laugh and shriek -
Em F#m
To and fro, far below
Em A Bm
In the pale hollow wood.

Lichen, ivy, and moss
Keep evergreen the trees
That stand half-flayed and dying,
And the dead trees on their knees
In dog's-mercury and moss:
And the bright twit of the goldfinch drops
Down there as he flits on thistle-tops.


Edward Thomas
