Among the Rocks Lyrics by Arthur Somervell

James Lee’s Wife

0

Oh, good gigantic smile o’ the brown old earth
This Autumn morning! How he sets his bones
To bask i’ the sun, and thrusts out knee and feet
For the ripple to run over in its mirth;
Listening the while, where on the heap of stones
The white breast of the sea-lark twitters sweet
That is the doctrine, simple, ancient, true;
Such is life’s trial, as old earth smiles and knows
If you loved only what were worth your love
Love were clear gain, and wholly well for you:
Make the low nature better by your throes!
Give earth yourself, go up for gain above!
