[00:23.14] i saw the back of the stars
[00:28.79] tremble and fall
[00:33.75] while seahorses played
[00:39.01] on the slope of your breast
[00:44.67] i saw a hundred angels
[00:50.24] rush to the ground
[00:54.93] they were giving you garlands
[01:00.17] and giving you crowns
[01:05.95] the flowers are everywhere
[01:10.51] Christ glorious entwined
[01:15.91] the tip of the moon
[01:20.80] and the sun as it shines
[01:26.23] and the roots as they burrow
[01:31.53] and tunnel through earth
[01:35.43] and the birds as they soar on their wings
[01:40.74] i heard them whisper your name
[01:47.35] and i remember you there
[01:57.88] and the turtle-doves hiding
[02:02.82] as your eyes roared with light
[02:07.89] and i remember your smile
[02:13.04] so wide and so red
[02:18.62] whilst the snowflakes covered
[02:23.80] your hair with their seals
[02:28.87] and i remember our bliss
[02:34.24] as we gazed at the wall
[02:39.53] and i remember you there
[02:48.91] i remember you there
[02:54.09] with your mocking bird hair
[02:59.00] some years ago
[03:03.91] we had sat down and wept
[03:09.18] with the sea in our ears
[03:14.24] and seven cats on our laps
[03:19.79] whilst the books gathered dust
[03:25.24] unread and untrue
[03:30.25] and you flicked through the letters
[03:35.57] i could not bear to read
