Far in a western brookland That bred me long ago The poplars stand and tremble By pools I used to know.There, in the windless night-time, The wanderer, marvelling why, Halts on the bridge to hearken How soft the poplars sigh.He hears: long since forgotten In fields where I was known, Here I lie down in London And turn to rest alone.There, by the starlit fences, The wanderer halts and hears My soul that lingers sighing About the glimmering weirs.
