Break Break Break by Alfred, Lord Tennyson - set to music

Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem “Break Break Break“ set to music by Bettina & Matthias Wenthe (Cowhouse Project), for studio version see here: Filmed at Driftwood House overlooking Camusdarach Beach with the Isles of Rum and Eigg in the background, guitar chords see at the bottom. Break, break, break, On thy cold grey stones, O Sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me. O well for the fisherman’s boy, That he shouts with his sister at play! O well for the sailor lad, That he sings in his boat on the bay! Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! But the tender grace of a day that is dead, Will never come back to me. And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill; But O for the touch of a vanish’d hand, And the sound of a voice that is still! Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O Sea! But the tender grace of a day that is dead, Will never come back to me.
