the wilderness yet lyrics
[verse 1]
this darksome burn, horseback brown
his rollrock highroad roaring down
in coop and in comb the fleece of his foam
flutes and low to the lake falls home

[verse 2]
a windpuff-bonnet of fáwn-fróth
turns and twindles over the broth
of a pool so pitchblack, féll-frówning
it rounds and rounds despair to drowning

[chorus]
what would the world be, once bereft
of wet and of wildness? let them be left
o let them be left, wildness and wet;
long live the weeds and the wilderness yet

[verse 3]
degged with dew, dappled with dew
are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through
wiry heathpacks, flitches of fern
and the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn

[verse 4]
where hares hold council and dread-drakes sport
the cope-carlied trout to the turf resort
and boglarks flout their fine fanfare
corkscr-w-ng song through the high sky air
[chorus]
what would the world be, once bereft
of wet and of wildness? let them be left
o let them be left, wildness and wet;
long live the weeds and the wilderness yet

[verse 5]
hear the bleating heather-blades
and bitterns as the daylight fades
a symphony of sound and then
the silence from the world of men

[verse 6]
when all is seared and smeared with toil
man’s smudge and smell ploughed through the soil
he’ll plod his shod unfeeling feet
onwards ‘cross the cold concrete

[chorus]
what would the world be, once bereft
of wet and of wildness? let them be left
o let them be left, the wildness and wet;
long live the weeds and the wilderness yet
long live the weeds and the wilderness yet
