As Through The Wild Green Hills Of Wyre

As through the wild green hills of Wyre
The train ran, changing sky and shire,
And far behind, a fading crest,
Low in the forsaken west

The Chestnut Casts His Flambeaux

Stream from the hawthorn on the wind away,
The doors clap to, the pane is blind with showers.

When the wind blows above,
The nettle on the graves of lovers
That hanged themselves for love.

For under thorn and bramble
About the hollow ground
