Circumstance

________________________________________________
Title:     Circumstance
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson [More Titles by Tennyson]

Two children in two neighbour villages
Playing mad pranks along the healthy leas;
Two strangers meeting at a festival;
Two lovers whispering by an orchard wall;
Two lives bound fast in one with golden ease;
Two graves grass-green beside a gray church-tower,
Wash'd with still rains and daisy-blossomed;
Two children in one hamlet born and bred;
So runs [1] the round of life from hour to hour.

[Footnote 1: 1830. Fill up.]

[The end]
Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem: Circumstance
