Text:
Never a swallow wets his wing In Lavender Pond from Spring to Spring; Never a lily, pure and chill, Holds her cup for the dews to fill; Never a willow, gnarled and hoar, Bends his bough to a reedy shore; Never a fragrant flower spike blows there, Never a lordly King-staff grows there, Slender and straight where sedges shiver And glistening Mayflies glance and quiver, In Lavender Pond by London River. But the Baltic barques they come and go With their old pump-windmills turning slow, And the tall Cape Horners rest and ride Like stately swans on the murky tide, And the ocean tramps all red and rusted, Worn and weathered and salt-encrusted, Gather and cluster near and far, Derrick and funnel, mast and spar, From many a port of old renown, And lonely wharf where the booms float down, To Lavender Pond by London Town. And keen and strong is the wind that comes To the dingy streets of the Deptford slums, Strong and keen with the scent it steals Off piled-up acres of Kalmar deals,
And the gulls go flying, the gulls go crying,
And the wind's sob and the water's sighing Croon to the ships an old sea ditty In Lavender Pond by London City. Never a swallow wets his wing In Lavender Pond from Spring to Spring, Never a lily, pure and chill, Holds her cup for the dews to fill; In Lavender Pond by London River.
