Gypsy Hymn |
| The ferryman brought me with mind open, dreaming |
| We cut the depths with laughter |
| Stayed with my youth that God’s tooth cut when weaning |
| Now and ever after |
| The will of the void is to shape and name forms |
| Our dance was never done then |
| I remember you well from before you were born |
| My chance was never won then |
| I burnt the sports pages as I already knew the score |
| Put faith in the fire forever and evermore |
| Your colors of autumn, you’re burnished with gold there |
| And standing in the rhythm |
| This circle of trees, and the full wish we told there |
| Truthful as a prism |
| I looked at the mystery and all she evoked |
| My patron saint stood near her |
| But the mystery walked, and the mystery spoke |
| My saint said, «Never fear her.» |
| Now Mab is my queen |
| Oh, and Mab is my chief |
| Mab is my root now |
| And strong trunk, and branch to the leaf |
| The circle remains and still from its past |
| Now waiting, now singing, now flying half mast |
| She is, and she’s whole |
| Oh, I’ll love, love again |
| I’ll know my song well, each dying refrain |
| Each cadence, and twist well observed in its harmony |
| Silence come clean, pull stillness for our lady |
| Gypsy hymn sing me slow |
| And tenderly bear me on your west wind blow |
| Your gypsy hymn let me flow |
| And sing me again before you got to go |
| Sing me again before you got to go |
