The Leaden Stour |
| Down by the leaden Stour the miller’s tale is at an end. |
| In a wood at the |
| water’s edge rooks are nesting overhead. |
| Here, beneath the clouds, |
| black waters rise again |
| Down by the leaden Stour fog is settling on the elds, pathways disappear, |
| footfalls led astray |
| By the riverside |
| A penny for the ferry |
| New stones for the churchyard. |
| A hundred years have passed, black waters rise |
| again |
| Down by the leaden Stour hawks are circling overhead. |
| A sundial by the yew |
| trees, a guinea for a life |
| By the riverside |
| There’s wood for the gallows and food for the crows |
| The carriers of souls |
| Black waters rise |
| One hundred years have passed, black waters rise again |
| By a curve of the river |
| At the end of the road |
| Black waters rise again |
