Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.


'Fern Hill' (1946)


Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means, Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means, Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means, Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means, Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea.
