[Intro] / /  / / / /  / / /  / / / /  / [Verse 1] Icy wind of   night be  gone. This is not your do---main. In the sky a     bird  was heard to  cry.         Misty morn--ing whisperings and gentle stirring sound Belied a deathly silence that lay all around. [Chorus] Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea. [Verse 2] In the la-zy     wa---ter mea-dow I lay me down. All around me golden sunflakes settle on the ground.   Basking in the sunshine of a by-gone afternoon   Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city doom. [Chorus] Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea. [Verse 3] In the la-zy     wa---ter mea-dow I lay me down. All around me golden sunflakes settle on the ground.   Basking in the sunshine of a by-gone afternoon   Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city doom. [Chorus] Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea. [Outro]
