Verse 
      Am  F  G E       Am    F      G   E7 
The brawling    of a sparrow in the eaves, 
      Am   F      G E     Am      F      G   E7 
The brilliant moon    and all the milky sky, 
    Am    F    G   E    Am     F   G    E7 
And all that famous    harmony of leaves, 
      Am    F    G   E   Am     F      G    E7 
Had blotted out man's  image and his cry. 
 Am    F    G   E   Am     F      G    E7 
sorrow 

Verse 
   Am       F          G   E7 
A girl arose that had red mournful lips 
Am                 F              G        E7 
 And seemed the greatness of the world in tears, 
 Am                 F            G          E7 
Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring ships 
               Am   F             G        E7 
And proud as Priam murdered with his peers; 

Verse 
    Am  F  G E           Am        F       G   E7 
Arose,        and on the instant clamorous eaves, 
    Am      F  G E   Am        F      G   E7 
A climbing moon    upon an empty sky, 
    Am             F     G E          Am    F  G   E7 
And all that lamentation     of the leaves, 
      Am 
Could but (mute) compose  man's image and his cry.
