upper lambourne - sir john betjeman lyrics

Loading...

up the ash tree climbs the ivy
up the ivy climbs the sun
with a twenty*thousand pattering
has a valley breeze begun
feathery ash, neglected elder
shift the shade and make it run *

shift the shade toward the nettles
and the nettles set it free
to streak the stained carrara headstone
where, in nineteen*twenty*three
he who trained a hundred winners
paid the final entrance fee
leathery limbs of upper lambourne
leathery skin from sun and wind
leathery breeches, spreading stables
shining saddles left behind *
to the down the string of horses
moving out of sight and mind

feathery ash in leathery lambourne
waves above the s*rs*n stone
and edwardian plantations
so coniferously moan
as to make the swelling downland
far surrounding, seem their own

- sir john betjeman lyrics
