lirik lagu edmund blunden: forefathers - cecil trouncer
here they went with smock and crook
toiled in the sun, lolled in the shade
here they mudded out the brook
and here their hatchet cleared the glade:
harvest~supper woke their wit
huntsmen’s moon their wooings lit
from this church they led their brides
from this church themselves were led
shoulder~high; on these waysides
sat to takе their beer and bread
names arе gone ~ what men they were
these their cottages declare
names are vanished, save the few
in the old brown bible scrawled;
these were men of pith and thew
whom the city never called;
scarce could read or hold a quill
built the barn, the forge, the mill
on the green they watched their sons
playing till too dark to see
as their fathers watched them once
as my father once watched me;
while the bat and beetle flew
on the warm air webbed with dew
unrecorded, unrenowned
men from whom my ways begin
here i know you by your ground
but i know you not within ~
there is silence, there survives
not a moment of your lives
like the bee that now is blown
honey~heavy on my hand
from his toppling tansy~throne
in the green tempestuous land ~
i’m in clover now, nor know
who made honey long ago
