The Song Of The Secret

By Walter De La Mare


Am Em
Where is beauty?
Am Em
Gone, gone:
Dm7 E7
The cold winds have taken it
Am G Dm
With their faint moan;
C#m - F#m C#m
The white stars have shaken it,
D-E F#m
Trembling down,
Bm D - E
Into the pathless deeps of the sea.
A D
Gone, gone
E A
Is beauty from me.

The clear naked flower
Is faded and dead;
The green-leafed willow,
Drooping her head,
Whispers low to the shade
Of her boughs in the stream,
Sighing a beauty,
Secret as dream.

Am: x0x558 - x0x555
Em: 0xx08x - 0xx05x
