the valley上
I heard it from the valleys
I heard it ringing in the mountains
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I heard it from the valleys
I heard him singing in the mountains
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Robert, when I drowse to-night
Skirting lawns of sleep to chase
Shifting dreams in mazy light
Somewhere then Ill see your face
Turning back to bid me follow
Where I wag my arms and hollow
Over hedges hasting after
Crooked smile and baffling laughter
We know such dreams are true
Hes come back, all mirth and glory
- Running tireless, floating, leaping
-Down your web-hung woods and valleys
-Where the glowworm stars are peeping
Like the prince in a fairy story
-Till I find you, quiet as stone
-On a hill-top all alone
-Staring outward, gravely pondering
-Jumbled leagues of hillock-wandering
Winter called him far away
-You and I have walked together
-In the starving winter weather
-Weve been glad because we knew
-Times too short and friends are few
Blossoms bring him home with May
-Weve been sad because we missed
-One whose yellow head was kissed
-By the gods, who thought about him
-Till they couldnt do without him
Now hes here again
Standing in a wood that swings
To the madrigal he sings
And Im sure, as here I stand,
That he shines through every land
That he sings in every place
Where were thinking of his face
While we know such dreams are true
