Alfred Lord Tennyson - The Poet`s SongAlfred Lord Tennyson - The Poet`s Song
Work rating: Medium


The Poet`s Song Alfred Lord Tennyson The rain had fallen, the Poet arose,   He passed by the town, and out of the street, A light wind blew from the gates of the sun,   And waves of shadow went over the wheat, And he set him down in a lonely place,   And chanted a melody loud and sweet, That made the wild-swan pause in her cloud,   And the lark drop down at his feet. The swallow stopt as he hunted the bee,   The snake slipt under a spray, The hawk stood with the down on his beak   And stared, with his foot on the prey And the nightingale thought, “I have sung many songs,   But never a one so gay, For he sings of what the world will be   When the years have died away.
