The Lowest Trees Have Tops

A  E  G#m  C#m   B   E   A   C#   F#


F#m               Bm  F#m
The lowest trees have tops,
    Bm   C#  F#   F#m
the ant her gall,
    C#m
the fly her spleen,
   F#             G#  C#
the little spark his heat.

C#m   G#    C#m
And slender hairs
F#m          E        A
cast shadows though but small,
 G#m             A
and bees have stings
      E
although they be not great.

A                 E
Seas have their source,
 G#m                  C#m
and so have shallow springs,
Bm           E           A    C#     F#
and love, is love, in beggars and in kings.

and love, is love, in beggars and in kings.

F#m               Bm  F#m
Where waters smoothest run
     Bm    C#   F#   F#m
deep are the fords;
    C#m
the dial stirs,
   F#             G#  C#
yet none perceives it move.

 C#m   G#  C#m
The firmest faith
F#m          E        A
is in the fewest words;
G#m             A
the turtles cannot sing
      E
and yet they love.

A                 E
True hearts have eyes
G#m                     C#m
and ears, no tongues to speak;
      Bm       E       A     C#            F#
they hear and see and sigh, and then they break.
