Have a Day Shorter
The poplars are fell'd
Farewell to the shade
And the whispering sound
Of the cool colonnade
Winds play no longer
And sing in the leaves
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Twelve years ago
Since I last took view
Of my favorite field
And the banks where they grew
And now in the grass
Behold they are laid
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Sooner than we
Sooner than we
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
The blackbird has fled
To another retreat
Where the hazels afford him
A screen from the heat
And now in the grass
Behold they are laid
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
My fugitive years
Are all hasting away
And I must e'er long lie low
I must e'er long lie low
I must e'er long lie lowly
With a turf on my chest
And a stone at my head
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Sooner than we
Sooner than we
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Sooner than we
Sooner than we
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Farewell to the shade
And the whispering sound
Of the cool colonnade
Winds play no longer
And sing in the leaves
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Twelve years ago
Since I last took view
Of my favorite field
And the banks where they grew
And now in the grass
Behold they are laid
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Sooner than we
Sooner than we
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
The blackbird has fled
To another retreat
Where the hazels afford him
A screen from the heat
And now in the grass
Behold they are laid
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
My fugitive years
Are all hasting away
And I must e'er long lie low
I must e'er long lie low
I must e'er long lie lowly
With a turf on my chest
And a stone at my head
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Sooner than we
Sooner than we
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
Sooner than we
Sooner than we
Have a day shorter
And die sooner than we
