Grantchester Meadows

4 4 5 -5 5 -4 -3 -4 -4 4 4 -3 4
Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain
4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 -3 -4 4
In the sky a bird was heard to cry
5 5 -5 6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4 5
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
4 4 -5 5 -4 -3 -4 4 4 4 -3 4
Belied the deathly silence, that lay all around

6 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 5 5 4.
Hear the lark and harken to the bar-king of the dog fox
-4 4 -4
Gone to ground
6 6 6 6 6 6 -5 -5 -5 5 5 5 4 -4 -4
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
4 4 6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 -5 5 5 5 4 -4
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
6 6 6 6 6 6 5 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 5 5 4 -4
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea

4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 -3 -4 4 4 -3 4
In the lazy water meadow, I lay me down
4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 -3 -4 -4 4 4 -3 4
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground
5 5 -5 6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 5 5 -4 5
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
4 4 -4 -5 5 -4 -3 -4 -4 4 4 -3 4
Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room
