[N] [Am]
I went out to [G] the hazel wood,
[C] because [Bm] a fire [D] was in my head
And
[C] a [Bm] cotton-field [A] a hazel wandered, and hooked [G] a berry on [A] a thread
And when white moths [G] were on the wing, [C] and moth [B]-like [D] stars were flickering now
I
[C]
dropped the berry [Am] in a stream, and caught [G] a little [A] silver trout
When I had laid [G] it on the floor,
[C] I [Bm] went to blow [D] the fire aflame
But
[C] something [Bm] rustled [Am] on the floor, and [G] someone called me by [A] my name
It had become [G] a glimmering girl, [C] with a bulb [D]-blossom in her hair
Who called me by my [Am] name, and ran, [G] and faded through the brightening [A]
hair
Why am I [G] with wandering through hollow [Bm] lands [D] and hilly land
[C] I will [Bm] find out where [Am] she is gone, and [G] kiss her lips and take her [A] hand
And walk among [G] long dappled grass,
[C] and pluck till [D] time and times are done
[C] The silver [Bm] apples [Am] of the moon, the [G] golden apples of the [Am] sun
