The Funeral |
| When nightfall enfolds you and quickens your heart |
| For you walk alone on the highway |
| If a polecat springs hissing her eyes raging amber |
| Then you must stand still and not fear her |
| For if you befriend her your sister she’ll be |
| And she of all beasts knows the river |
| Its secret unwindings and reason for flowing |
| And a safe road beside the dark water… |
| When nightfall enfolds you and quickens your heart |
| For you walk alone on the highway |
| If a grey wolf springs snarling his teeth bared in anger |
| Then you must stay calm and not fear him |
| For if you befriend him your brother he’ll be |
| And he of all beasts knows the old way |
| That climbs to the one pass that cuts through the mountain |
| And a warm cave where you may take shelter… |
| So follow the highway that leads to the lake |
| And you will discover a sweet spring |
| That bubbles and runs down the hillsides of childhood |
| And there lay your heart down forever… |
