Poem : the brook
by : alfred lord tennyson
About the poet :
Lord tennyson was born in lincolnshire . Poet laureate for
over 40 years . His skilled craftsman and noble ideas
retained a large audience for poetry in an age when the
novel was engrossing more and more readers .
1. I come from haunts of coot and hern
2. I make a sudden sally
3. And sparkle out among the fern ,
4. To bicker down a valley
5. By thirty hills I hurry down
6. Or slip between the ridges
7. By twenty thorpes , a little town
8. A half a hundred bridges
9. Till last by the philip’s farm I flow
10. To join the briming river
11. For men may come and men may go ,
12. But I go on for ever
13. I chatter over stony ways
14. In little sharps and trebels
15. I bubble into eddying bays
16. I babble on the pebbles
17. With many a curve my blanks I fret
18. By many a field and fallow
19. And many a foreland set
20. With willow-weed and mallow
21. I chatter , chatter , as I flow
22. To join the brimming rivers
23. For men may come and men may go
24. But I go on for ever
25. I wind about , and in and out ,
26. With here a blossom sailing ,
27. And here and there a lutry trout ,
28. And here and there a grayling ,
29. And here and there a foamy flake
30. Upon me as I travel
31. With many a silver waterbreak
32. Above the golden gravel
33. And draw them all along and flow
34. To join the brimming river
35. For men may come and men may go
36. But I go on for ever
37. I steal by lawns and grassy plots ,
38. I slide by hazel covers
39. I move the sweet forget-me-nots
40. That grow for happy lovers.
41. I slip , I slide , I gloom , I glance ,
42. Among my skimming swallows
43. I make the netted sunbeam dance
44. Against my sandy shallows
45. I murmur under the moon and stars
46. In brambly wilderness
47. I linger by my shingly bars
48. I loiter around my cresses
49. And out again I curve and flow
50. To join the brimming river
51. For men may come and men may go
52. But I go on for ever .
