Here is another poem by Edward Thomas

lyrics

THE NEW HOUSE (Edward Thomas)
Intro: F#m Bm A E F#m Bm A C#7

F#m Bm
Now first, as I shut the door,
A
I was alone
E
In the new house; and the wind
F#m
Began to moan.

F#m Bm
Old at once was the house,
A E
And I was old;
F#m Bm
My ears were teased with the dread
C#7
Of what was foretold,


A G D Em
Nights of storm, days of mist, without end;
F#m Bm
Sad days when the sun
D Em C#m F#m
Shone in vain: old griefs and griefs
C#m F#
Not yet begun.

Intro instrumental

D A
All was foretold me; naught
Em F#m
Could I foresee;
Bm A
But I learned how the wind would sound
Em A
After these things should be.

Intro Instrumental end on F#m
