when smoke stood up from ludlow - john glen & rachel gurney lyrics
when smoke stood up from ludlow
and mist blew off from teme
and blithe afield to ploughing
against the morning beam
i strode beside my team
the blackbird in the coppice
looked out to see me stride
and hearkened as i whistled
the trampling team beside
and fluted and replied:
‘lie down, lie down, young yeoman;
what use to rise and rise?
rise man a thousand mornings
yet down at last he lies
and then the man is wisе.’
i heard the tune hе sang me
and spied his yellow bill;
i picked a stone and aimed it
and threw it with a will:
then the bird was still
then my soul within me
took up the blackbird’s strain
and still beside the horses
along the dewy lane
it sang the song again:
‘lie down, lie down, young yeoman;
the sun moves always west;
the road one treads to labour
will lead one home to rest
and that will be the best.’
