Villanelle 1
Along the river that flows down belowBeneath the cliffs from which we see
A herd of deer moving slow
The herd of deer seem slow to go
And we should simply leave them be
Along the river that flows down below
We see the that they don't want to go
Away from the river that flows so free
A herd of deer moving slow
At last they seem to want to go
They move along so wild and free
Along the river that flows down below
Out of sight they move down below
Away from the river and away from me
A herd of deer moving slow
Away the deer they're soon to go
Into the forest so they no longer be
Along the river that flows down below
A herd of deer moving slow
