The Brook |ðǩ brȚk| I come from haunts of coot and With here a blossom sailing, hern, And here and there a lusty trout, I make a sudden sally And here and there a grayling, And sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley And here and there a foamy flake Upon me, as I travel By thirty hills I hurry down, With many a silvery waterbreak Or slip between the ridges, Above the golden gravel, By twenty thorpes, a little town, And half a hundred bridges And draw them all along, and flow To join the brimming river Till last by Philip's farm I flow For men may come and men may To join the brimming river, go, For men may come and men may But I go on for ever go, But I go on for ever I steal by lawns and grassy plots, I slide by hazel covers; I chatter over stony ways, I move the sweet forget-me-nots In little sharps and trebles, That grow for happy lovers I bubble into eddying bays, I babble on the pebbles I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance, Among my skimming swallows; With many a curve my banks I fret I make the netted sunbeam dance By many a field and fallow, Against my sandy shallows And many a fairy foreland set With willow-weed and mallow I murmur under moon and stars In brambly wildernesses; I chatter, chatter, as I flow I linger by my shingly bars; To join the brimming river, I loiter round my cresses; For men may come and men may go, And out again I curve and flow But I go on for ever To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may I wind about, and in and out, COMPILED JUAN CARLOS DAVID go, But I go on for ever The Brook |ðǩ brȚk| aǺ kȜm fr(ǩ)m hǤənts ǩv kuət ǩn(d) ǩn(d) hǺǩr ǩn(d) ðǫǩr ǩ lȜsti trǡȚt | hǬən | ǩn(d) hǺǩr ǩn(d) ðǫǩr ǩ DZreǺlǺŋ | aǺ meǺk ǩ sȜdnʜ sæli | ǩn(d) spǡəklʜ ǡȚt ǩmȜŋ ðǩ fǬən | ǩn(d) hǺǩr ǩn(d) ðǫǩr ǩ fǩȚmi fleǺk tǩ bǺkǩ dǡȚn ǩ væli | ǩpǢn miə | ǩz aǺ trævlʜ | wǺð meni ǩ sǺlvǩri wǤ:tǩ breǺk | baǺ θǬəti hǺlz aǺ hȜri dǡȚn | ǩbȜv ðǩ DZǩȚld(ǩ)n DZrævlʜ | Ǥə slǺp bǺtwiən ðǩ rǺdȢǺz | baǺ twenti θǤ:ps | ǩ lǺtlʜ tǡȚn | ǩn(d) drǤə ð(ǩ)m Ǥəl ǩlǢŋ | ǩn(d) ǩn(d) hǡəf ǩ hȜndrǩd brǺdȢǺz | flǩȚ | tǺl lǡəst | baǺ fǺlǩps fǡəm aǺ flǩȚ | tǩ dȢǤǺn ðǩ brǺmǺŋ rǺvǩ | tǩ dȢǤǺn ðǩ brǺmǺŋ rǺvǩ | fǩ men meǺ kȜm ǩn(d) men meǺ fǩ men meǺ kȜm ǩn(d) men meǺ DZǩȚ | DZǩȚ | bǩt aǺ DZǩ(Ț) Ǣn fǩr evǩ | bǩt aǺ DZǩ(Ț) Ǣn fǩr evǩ | aǺ stiəl baǺ lǤənz ǩn(d) DZrǡəsi plǢts aǺ tȓætǩr ǩȚvǩ stǩȚni weǺz | aǺ slaǺd baǺ heǺzlʜ kȜvǩz | Ǻn lǺtlʜ ȓǡəps ǩn(d) treblʜz | aǺ muəv ðǩ swiət fǩDZet mǺ nǢts | aǺ bȜblʜ Ǻntu edǺǺŋ beǺz | ðǩt DZrǩȚ fǩ hæpi lȜvǩz | aǺ bæblʜ Ǣn ðǩ peblʜz | aǺ slǺp | aǺ slaǺd | aǺ DZluəm |aǺ wǺð meni ǩ kǬəv maǺ bæŋks aǺ fret DZlǡəns | baǺ meni ǩ fiəld ǩn(d) fælǩȚ | ǩmȜŋ maǺ skǺmǺŋ swǢlǩȚz | ǩn(d) meni ǩ feǩri fǤəlǩn(d) set | aǺ meǺk ðǩ netǺd sȜnbiəm dǡəns | wǺð wǺlǩȚ wi:d ǩn(d) mælǩȚ | ǩDZens(t) maǺ sændi ȓælǩȚz | aǺ tȓætǩ | tȓætǩr ǩz aǺ flǩȚ | aǺ mǬəmǩr Ȝndǩ muən ǩn(d) stǡəz | tǩ dȢǤǺn ðǩ brǺmǺŋ rǺvǩ | Ǻn bræmbli wǺldǩnesǺz fǩ men meǺ kȜm ǩn(d) men meǺ aǺ lǺŋDZǩ baǺ maǺ ȓǺŋDZli bǡəz | DZǩȚ | aǺ lǤǺtǩ rǡȚn(d) maǺ kresǩz | bǩt aǺ DZǩ(Ț) Ǣn fǩr evǩ | ǩnd ǡȚt ǩDZen aǺ kǬəv ǩn(d) flǩȚ | tǩ dȢǤǺn ðǩ brǺmǺŋ rǺvǩ | aǺ waǺnd ǩbǡȚt | ǩnd Ǻn ǩnd ǡȚt | fǩ men meǺ kȜm ǩn(d) men meǺ wǺð hǺǩr ǩ blǢsǩm seǺlǺŋ | DZǩȚ |bǩt aǺ DZǩ(Ț) Ǣn fǩr evǩ| COMPILED JUAN CARLOS DAVID
