Circumstance
Alfred Lord Tennyson
1809 to 1892
Two children in two neighbour villages
Playing mad pranks along the healthy leas;
Two strangers meeting at a festival;
Two lovers whispering by an orchard wall;
Two lives bound fast in one with golden ease;
Two graves grass-green beside a gray church-tower,
Wash’d with still rains and daisy-blossomed;
Two children in one hamlet born and bred;
So runs the round of life from hour to hour.
Alfred Lord Tennyson's Circumstance
I am busy working to bring Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Circumstance" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Alfred Lord Tennyson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Circumstance" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
