the penny whistle - ivor gurney lyrics

Loading...

the new moon hangs like an ivory bugle
in the naked frosty blue;
and the leaves of the forest, already blackened
by winter, are blackened anew

the brooks that cut up and increase the forest
as if they had never known
the sun, are roaring with black hollow voices
betwixt rage and a moan

but still the caravan*hut by the hollies
like a kingfisher gleams between:
round the mossed old hearths of the charcoal*burners
first primroses ask to be seen

the charcoal*burners are black, but their linen
blows white on the line:
and white the letter the girl is reading
under that crescent fine;

and her brother hidden apart in a thicket
slowly and surely playing
on a whistle an olden nursery melody
says far more than i am saying
