SKIFF.
The Collected Works of William Morris |  |
[I am the oak-tree, and forsooth]
[An Old Song.]
I am the oak-tree, and forsooth
Men deal by me with little ruth;
My boughs they shred, my life they slay,
And speed me o'er the watery way.
Men deal by me with little ruth;
My boughs they shred, my life they slay,
And speed me o'er the watery way.
293
Along the grass I lie forlorn
That when a while of time is worn,
I may be filled with war and peace
And bridge the sundering of the seas.
That when a while of time is worn,
I may be filled with war and peace
And bridge the sundering of the seas.
