[al:Still] |
[00:07.30] |
Still I wonder how it is to be a stream |
[00:15.59] |
From a dark well constant flowing |
[00:24.62] |
Winding seawards over ancient mossy wheels |
[00:33.65] |
Yet feel no need of knowing |
[00:43.26] |
Still I wonder how it is to be a tree |
[00:50.71] |
Circled servant to the seasons |
[00:59.26] |
Only drink on sky and rake the winter wind |
[01:07.82] |
And need no seal of reasons |
[01:17.97] |
Still I wonder why I wonder why I'm here |
[01:27.26] |
All my words just the shaft of my flail |
[01:35.48] |
As I race o'er this beautiful sphere |
[01:43.57] |
Like a dog who his chasing his -- |
[01:48.86] |
Tailors and tinkers, princes and Incas, |
[01:56.74] |
Sailors and sinkers, before me and like me... |
[02:13.09] |
Still I wonder how it is to be a bird |
[02:19.52] |
Singing each dawns sweet effusions |
[02:29.37] |
Flying far away when all the world has stirred |
[02:37.46] |
Yet seek no vain conclusions |
[02:47.50] |
Still I wonder if I passed some time ago |
[02:57.35] |
As a bird, or a stream, or a tree |
[03:05.86] |
To mount up high you first must sink down low |
[03:13.92] |
Like the changeable tides of the |
[03:18.69] |
Caesars and Pharoahs, prophets and heroes |
[03:26.49] |
Poets and hobos, before me and after me all the |
[03:38.44] |
Painters and dancers, mountainside chancers |
[03:46.68] |
Merchants and gamblers, bankers and ramblers |
[03:54.97] |
Winners and losers, angels and boozers |
[04:02.91] |
Beatles and Bolans, raindrops and oceans |
[04:10.93] |
Kings, pawns and deacons, fainthearts and beacons |
[04:18.99] |
Caesars and Pharoahs, prophets and heroes |
[04:27.16] |
Poets and hobos, before me and after me... |
