Hesperus |
| Looking for a lighthouse keeper |
| Climb the hill and turn around |
| Fallen stones and railway sleepers |
| Are scattered like rice across the ground |
| Severed hands of seven hunters |
| Poised as if to draw a bow |
| Arrow loosed to tear asunder |
| Whistles to the earth |
| I’ll collect the feathers from the three black birds |
| That scattered as we landed on St Stephen’s day |
| The Hesperus has bought me here to try to find you |
| Drawn in by the blinded eye |
| Confounded by the fearful mess you left behind |
| Who could pass you by? |
| Has some raging serpent coiling |
| Dragged you from your posts |
| Bidden by a tempest to disturb your toiling work? |
| I don’t believe it’s so |
| Three good men were savaged by the same two things |
| That carried me to find them, on St Stephen’s day |
| When I look upon |
| The shattered crane |
| The battered rail, the severed chain |
| I know of no force so great |
| Save that which bore me here |
