Earth Folk

    By Walter De La Mare 

C#m B A E    
The cat she walks on padded claws,
C#m B A
    The wolf on the hills lays stealthy paws,
F#m B A C#m
    Feathered birds in the rain-sweet sky
B A C#m
    At their ease in the air, flit low, flit high.

    The oak's blind, tender roots pierce deep,
    His green crest towers, dimmed in sleep,
    Under the stars whose thrones are set
    Where never prince hath journeyed yet.

Grim

    By Walter De La Mare 

Am7 Cmaj7 Am7 Cmaj7    
Beside the blaze, as of forty fires
   Am7 Cmaj7 Am7 Cmaj7    
     Giant Grim doth sit,
D Dmaj7 Am7 Em
    Roasting a thick-woolled mountain sheep
C9 G/B Am7
        Upon an iron spit.
    Above him wheels the winter sky,
        Beneath him, fathoms deep,
    Lies hidden in the valley mists
        A village fast asleep - -
    Save for one restive hungry dog
        That, snuffing towards the height,
    Smells Grim's broiled supper-meat, and spies
    His watch-fire twinkling bright.
