The Field |
The body lay on fragrant earth under empty skies in an open field |
A shallow grave, unmarked, unnoticed, in crumbling furrows carved by rusted |
ploughs |
They will bury your empty coffin; |
they will raise for you a |
Stone |
They will know you fell in glory |
In the corner of some lonely foreign field |
Broken cloud, fleeting shadows, silhouettes are scattered |
Cross the sky |
The hollow laughter fills the heavens |
And echoes round a still and silent field |
Where you have climbed Jacob’s ladder; |
where you saw the light of God |
And from the voices of his angels the Truth was heard, the Truth was heard |
I have slept in the shadows of moonstruck trees |
A mossy pillow my rock of dreams |
The wood smoke lingers among smouldering leaves |
Like my thoughts are carried away on a stiffening breeze |
To the domes and spires, the glittering towers |
Of palaces of kings and thrones of power |
I will climb Jacob’s ladder; |
I will see the light of God, I will hear from the |
tongues of angels his Holy words |
I take the field in honest battle |
My father’s sword is sure in hand |
My heart my shield, my dreams my armour |
My banners high my hopes are gathered |
Fortunes home I’ll surely carry |
And the bells will ring in honour of my name |
Should I falter, should I tarry |
Should I hesitate, should I fall |
Then bury me in your memories |
Let our children hear the bugle call |
Let them climb Jacob’s ladder; |
let them see the light of |
God |
Let them hear from the tongues of angels his Holy words |
Let them take the field |
