| Songs from “The Princess.” I. As thro’ the Land |
| | | Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron (1809–92) |
| |
| |
| AS thro’ the land at eve we went, | |
| And pluck’d the ripen’d ears, | |
| We fell out, my wife and I, | |
| Oh, we fell out I know not why, | |
| And kiss’d again with tears. | 5 |
| And blessings on the falling out | |
| That all the more endears, | |
| When we fall out with those we love | |
| And kiss again with tears! | |
| For when we came where lies the child | 10 |
| We lost in other years, | |
| There above the little grave, | |
| Oh, there above the little grave, | |
| We kiss’d again with tears. | |
