The English Song Series, Volume 14: Songs of Travel / The House of Life / Four Poems by Fredegond Shove
Songs of Travel: Bright Is the Ring of Words
Bright is the ring of words
When the right man rings them,
Fair the fall of songs
When the singer sings them,
Still they are carolled and said–
On wings they are carried–
After the singer is dead
And the maker buried.
Low as the singer lies
In the field of heather,
Songs of his fashion bring
The swains together.
And when the west is red
With the sunset embers,
The lover lingers and sings
And the maid remembers.
When the right man rings them,
Fair the fall of songs
When the singer sings them,
Still they are carolled and said–
On wings they are carried–
After the singer is dead
And the maker buried.
Low as the singer lies
In the field of heather,
Songs of his fashion bring
The swains together.
And when the west is red
With the sunset embers,
The lover lingers and sings
And the maid remembers.
