Spring And Fall To A Young Child chords by Natalie Merchant

C    D
Margaret, are you grieving
G       C        Em
Over golden grove unleaving?  By and by
C          D
Leaves, like the things of man, you
G             C         Em
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
C      D
Ah! as the heart grows older
G            C
It will come to such sights colder
Em        D      C
By and by, nor spare a sigh, by and by
C         D        G
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
          C      Em
And yet you will weep and know why.
     D
Now no matter, child, the name:
  C                         Em
Sorrows' springs are all the same. They're all the same.
C        D        G
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
       C        Em
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
C         D
It is the blight man was born for,
G        C          Em
It is Margaret that you mourn for.
