IN EXILE
Oh, rooks that look like English rooks,
And whirl against the grey!
Oh, skies that look like English skies,
Two thousand miles away!
And whirl against the grey!
Oh, skies that look like English skies,
Two thousand miles away!
Oh, eyes that look on rooks and skies,
Why do ye fill with tears?
Oh, mysteries, and memories,
And changes of the years!
Why do ye fill with tears?
Oh, mysteries, and memories,
And changes of the years!
