|
I saw the back of the stars |
|
Tremble and fall |
|
While seahorses played |
|
On the slope of your breast |
|
I saw a hundred angels |
|
Rush to the ground |
|
They were giving you garlands |
|
And giving you crowns |
|
The flowers are everywhere |
|
Christ glorious entwined |
|
The tip of the moon |
|
And the sun as it shines |
|
And the roots as they burrow |
|
And tunnel through earth |
|
And the birds as they soar on their wings |
|
I heard them whisper your name |
|
And I remember you there |
|
|
|
And the turtle-doves hiding |
|
As your eyes roared with light |
|
And I remember your smile |
|
So wide and so red |
|
Whilst the snowflakes covered |
|
Your hair with their seals |
|
And I remember our bliss |
|
As we gazed at the wall |
|
And I remember you there |
|
I remember you there |
|
With your mocking bird hair |
|
|
|
Some years ago |
|
We had sat down and wept |
|
With the sea in our ears |
|
And seven cats on our laps |
|
Whilst the books gathered dust |
|
Unread and untrue |
|
And you flicked through the letters |
|
I could not bear to read |
