Prince Rupert Awakes |
| Farewell the temple master’s bells |
| His kiosk and his black worm seed |
| Courtship solely of his word |
| With Eden guaranteed |
| For now Prince Rupert’s tears of glass |
| Make saffron sabbath eyelids bleed |
| Scar the sacred tablet wax |
| On which the Lizards feed |
| Wake your reason’s hollow vote |
| Wear your blizzard season coat |
| Burn a bridge and burn a boat |
| Stake a Lizard by the throat |
| Go Polonius or kneel |
| The reapers name their harvest dawn |
| All your tarnished devil’s spoons |
| Will rust beneath our corn |
| Now bears Prince Rupert’s garden roam |
| Across his rain tree shaded lawn |
| Lizard bones become the clay |
| And there a swan is born |
| Wake your reason’s hollow vote |
| Wear your blizzard season coat |
| Burn a bridge and burn a boat |
| Stake a Lizard by the throat |
| Gone soon Piepowder’s moss-weed court |
| Round which upholstered Lizards sold |
| Visions to their leaden flock |
| Of rainbows' ends and gold |
| Now tales Prince Rupert’s peacock brings |
| Of walls and trumpets thousand fold |
| Prophets chained for burning masks |
| And reels of dreams unrolled… |
| Night enfolds her cloak of holes |
| Around the river meadow |
| Old moon-light stalks by broken ploughs |
| Hides spokeless wheels in shadow |
| Sentries lean on thorn wood spears |
| Blow on their hands, stare eastwards |
| Burnt with dream and taut with fear |
| Dawn’s misty shawl upon them |
| Three hills apart great armies stir |
| Spit oath and curse as day breaks |
| Forming lines of horse and steel |
| By even yards march forward |
