Poem by Edward Thomas

lyrics

The Lane
By Edward Thomas
Dm/A Am7 G-Am7
Some day, I think, there will be people enough
Dm/A Am7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
In Froxfield to pick all the blackberries
Dm/A Am7 G-Am7
Out of the hedges of Green Lane, the straight
Dm/A Am7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
Broad lane where now September hides herself
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
In bracken and blackberry, harebell and dwarf gorse.
Gm C Fmaj7
Today, where yesterday a hundred sheep
Gm C Were nibbling, halcyon bells shake to the sway
Dm D7
Of waters that no vessel ever sailed ...
Dm/A Am7 G-Am7
It is a kind of spring: the chaffinch tries
Dm/A Am7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
His song. For heat it is like summer too.
Dm/A Am7 G-Am7
This might be winter’s quiet. While the glint
Dm/A Am7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
Of hollies dark in the swollen hedges lasts—
Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7 Bbmaj7
One mile—and those bells ring, little I know
Cm Gm
Or heed if time be still the same, until
C
The lane ends and once more all is the same.
