Tennyson's Brook

Tennyson was a great poet and none greater than he And the brook that he made famous is still flowing down towards the sea Yes the old brook is still babbling and men have come and gone And the poet's verse is still living and life on Earth goes on. Around three hundred seasons on average the life of man But the brook flows on forever it do not have a time span Before the coming of the dinosaurs millions of years ago The brook from the high country down towards the sea did flow. Tennyson's brook still flowing and it will flow forever more Through the fields and moors and woodlands on it's way to the sea shore And it ripples through the meadow where it meets the little rill And flows on to join the river and it's tongue is never still. Tennyson's brook still flowing every night and every day Through the valleys and the woodlands and the old fields far away And it will babble on forever and men have come and gone And the poet's verse is still living and life on Earth goes on
