Chord Spring And Fall To A Young Child by Natalie Merchant

natalie merchant - spring and fall : to a young child - written for gerald manley hopkins 1880 poem C D margaret , are you grieving G C Em over golden grove unleaving? by and by C D leaves , like the things of man , you G C Em with your fresh thoughts care for , can you? C D ah! as the heart grows older G C it will come to such sights colder Em D C by and by , nor spare a sigh , by and by C D G though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; C Em and yet you will weep and know why . D now no matter , child , the name : C Em sorrows’ springs are all the same . they’re all the same . C D G nor mouth had , no nor mind , expressed C Em what heart heard of , ghost guessed : C D it is the blight man was born for , G C Em it is margaret that you mourn for .
