Gentle cricket of yonder chirp
Rhythmic in you solitary cry
Edging my humble forgotten thorp
Where dreams peter out and die
A village slipping with the vale
Tis mine, and alone for me
Ragged breath struggling I fail
No rectitude in this misery
The huddles empty with molded thatch
Walking down valley to meet dell
The cricket summons a parting glass
Sweet regards friend, farewell

Gentle cricket of yonder chirp
Rhythmic in you solitary cry
Edging my humble forgotten thorp
Where dreams peter out and die
A village slipping with the vale
Tis mine, and alone for me
Ragged breath struggling I fail
No rectitude in this misery
The huddles empty with molded thatch
Walking down valley to meet dell
The cricket summons a parting glass
Sweet regards friend, farewell
