Tell her, oh, tell her
Thomas Moore
1779 to 1852
Tell her, oh, tell her, the lute she left lying
Beneath the green arbor is still lying there;
And breezes like lovers around it are sighing,
But not a soft whisper replies to their prayer.
Tell her, oh, tell her, the tree that, in going,
Beside the green arbor she playfully set,
As lovely as, ever is blushing and blowing,
And not a, bright leaflet has fallen from it yet.
So while away from that arbor forsaken,
The maiden is wandering, still let her be
As true as the lute that no sighing can waken
And blooming for ever, unchanged as the tree!
Thomas Moore's Tell her, oh, tell her
I am busy working to bring Thomas Moore's "Tell her, oh, tell her" 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 Thomas Moore's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Tell her, oh, tell her" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
