White Birds |
I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea |
Far from the rose and the lily, and fret of the flames would we be |
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky |
Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may never die, |
a sadness that may never die |
A weariness comes from those dreamers, dew-dabbled, the lily and rose |
Ah, dream not of that, my beloved, the flame of the meteor that goes |
Or the flame of the blue star that lingers hung low in the fall of the dew |
For I would we were changed, my beloved, to white birds on the foam, I and you, |
to white birds on the foam, I and you |
Bend low, that I may crown you, flower of the branch |
Silver fish my hands have taken from the running stream |
Morning star, trembling in the heavens like a white fawn on the border of a wood |
Bend that I may crown you, that I may crown you |
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky |
Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may never die, |
a sadness that may never die |
I am haunted by numberless islands, and many a Danaan shore |
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more |
Soon far from the rose and the lily and fret of the flames would we be |
Were we only white birds, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea, |
white birds on the foam of the sea |
