Matthew Arnold - The Church of Brou: The Church lyrics

Upon the glistening leaden roof Of the new Pile, the sunlight shines;  The stream goes leaping by. The hills are clothed with pines sun-proof; 'Mid bright green fields, below the pines,  Stands the Church on high. What Church is this, from men aloof?— 'Tis the Church of Brou. At sunrise, from their dewy lair Crossing the stream, the kine are seen  Round the wall to stray— The churchyard wall that clips the square Of open hill-sward fresh and green  Where last year they lay. But all things now are order'd fair Round the Church of Brou. On Sundays, at the matin-chime, The Alpine peasants, two and three,  Climb up here to pray; Burghers and dames, at summer's prime, Ride out to church from Chambery,  Dight with mantles gay. But else it is a lonely time Round the Church of Brou. On Sundays, too, a priest doth come From the wall'd town beyond the pa**,  Down the mountain-way; And then you hear the organ's hum, You hear the white-robed priest say ma**,  And the people pray. But else the woods and fields are dumb Round the Church of Brou. And after church, when ma** is done, The people to the nave repair  Round the tomb to stray; And marvel at the Forms of stone, And praise the chisell'd broideries rare—  Then they drop away. The princely Pair are left alone In the Church of Brou.
