March by Alfred Edward Houseman

Lyrics

The Sun at noon to higher air Unharnessing the silver Pair That late before his chariot swam Rides on the gold wool of the Ram So braver notes the storm-cock sings To start the rusted wheel of things And brutes in field and brutes in pen Leap that the world goes round again The boys are up the woods with day To fetch the daffodils away And home at noonday from the hills They bring no dearth of daffodils Afield for palms the girls repair And sure enough the palms are there And each will find by hеdge or pond Her waving silver-tuftеd wand In farm and field through all the shire The eye beholds the heart's desire; Ah, let not only mine be vain For lovers should be loved again
