In the Valley
Arthur Symons
1865 to 1945
Down the valley will I wander, singing songs forlorn,
Waiting for the maiden coming up between the corn.
Down below I hear the river babbling to the breeze,
And I see the sunlight kiss the tresses of the trees.
All the corn is shining with the tears of early rain:
Come, thou sunlight of mine eyes, and bring the dawn again!
Down the valley will I wander, singing songs forlorn,
Till I meet the maiden coming up between the corn.
Arthur Symons's In the Valley
I am busy working to bring Arthur Symons's "In the Valley" 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 Arthur Symons's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "In the Valley" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
