NATALIE MERCHANT - SPRING AND FALL: TO A YOUNG CHILD - Written for Gerald Manley
Hopkins 1880 poem
C D
Margaret, are you grieving
G C Em
Over golden grove unleaving? By and by
C D
Leaves, like the things of man, you
G C Em
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
C D
Ah! as the heart grows older
G C
It will come to such sights colder
Em D C
By and by, nor spare a sigh, by and by
C D G
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
C Em
And yet you will weep and know why.
D
Now no matter, child, the name:
C Em
Sorrows' springs are all the same. They're all the same.
C D G
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
C Em
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
C D
It is the blight man was born for,
G C Em
It is Margaret that you mourn for.
