Subject: Lyr Add: PARTING AND MEETING AGAIN (W B Scott) From: Jim Dixon Date: 01 Oct 12 - 11:34 PM Here's the poem, from Poems by William Bell Scott (London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1875), page 64: PARTING AND MEETING AGAIN. Last time I parted from my dear The linnet sang from the briar-bush, The throstle from the dell; The stream too carolled full and clear, It was the spring-time of the year, And both the linnet and the thrush I love them well, Since last I parted from my dear. But when he came again to me The barley rustled high and low, Linnet and thrush were still; Yellowed the apple on the tree, 'Twas autumn merry as it could be, What time the white ships come and go Under the hill; They brought him back again to me, Brought him safely o'er the sea. |
