Will Ever?

    By Walter De La Mare 

Cmaj7 Bbmaj7
 Will he ever be weary of wandering,
Am/F
        The flaming sun?
Cmaj7 Bbmaj7
    Ever weary of waning in lovelight,
Fm Gm
        The white still moon?
Dm C
    Will ever a shepherd come
F C Dm
        With a crook of simple gold,
F C Eb
    And lead all the little stars
Gm Am Dm
        Like lambs to the fold?

    Will ever the Wanderer sail
        From over the sea,
    Up the river of water,
        To the stones to me?
    Will he take us all into his ship,
        Dreaming, and waft us far,
    To where in the clouds of the West
        The Islands are?

Wanderers


D1 D2
Wide are the meadows of night, 
D3 D4
And daisies are shining there, 
Esus4 E
Tossing their lovely dews, 
A/D
Lustrous and fair; 

And through these sweet fields go, 
Wanderers amid the stars -- 
Venus, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune, 
Saturn, Jupiter, Mars. 

D F#m G A
'Tired in their silver, they move, 
Em A Em A
And circling, whisper and say, 
D A G A
Fair are the blossoming meads of delight 
Em
Through which we stray.
