christopher hassall - the tables turned lyrics

Loading...

up! up! my friend, and quit your books;
or surely you’ll grow double:
up! up! my friend, and clear your looks;
why all this toil and trouble?

the sun above the mountain’s head
a freshening l_stre mellow
through all the long green fields has spread
his first sweet evening yellow

books! ’tis a dull and endless strife:
come, hear the woodland linnet
how sweet his music! on my life
there’s more of wisdom in it

and hark! how blithe the throstle sings!
he, too, is no mean preacher:
come forth into the light of things
let nature bе your teacher

she has a world of rеady wealth
our minds and hearts to bless—
spontaneous wisdom breathed by health
truth breathed by cheerfulness

one impulse from a vernal wood
may teach you more of man
of moral evil and of good
than all the sages can
sweet is the lore which nature brings;
our meddling intellect
mis_shapes the beauteous forms of things:—
we murder to dissect

enough of science and of art;
close up those barren leaves;
come forth, and bring with you a heart
that watches and receives

- christopher hassall
