Seagrave
For the listener who listens in the snow,<br/> and nothing beholds into the nothing that is,<br/> and out of the central mind, I blink no glittering eye.<br/> I tread through the frozen night.<br/> <br/> Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight.<br/> Where only the ravens in their high, cold and broken sky,<br/> may tell my words echo through the shadows.<br/> <br/> Over the sea I felt the wind strike chill and cold.<br/> Vapours rise from the red brown mold<br/> and they come unencumbered.<br/> Farewell my adoptive land that nurtured me.<br/> Till on the haunting flare, I turned to the northern sea.<br/> <br/> When I remember all I've seen around me fall,<br/> dark as the roses thorn.<br/> A shape of ice that flies in the night,<br/> this is the shells iridescence.<br/> <br/> Through time all has been made weightless as the rising embers.<br/> I blink no glittering eye; I tread through the frozen night.<br/> <br/> Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight.<br/> With only the ravens in their high, cold and broken sky.<br/> May tell my words echo through the shadows.<br/> <br/> Then fades the glimmering landscape on the sight.<br/> Where only the ravens in their high, cold and broken sky,<br/> may tell my words echo through the shadows.

Thanked has been fortune,<br/> it has been otherwise twenty times better.<br/> I wished that there might start eternity,<br/> And the sun itself shall perish as every dream of mine.<br/> <br/> My whole youth's starward longing could not win.<br/> <br/> And as it did, my thoughts are now for you sealed.<br/> Sealed forever as every star is blotted from the sky.<br/> Is this all a once gallant hymn of dreamed salvation.<br/> <br/> Cold lips that sing no more.<br/> And withered wreaths and regretful eyes.<br/> I wished that there might start eternity.<br/> It has been otherwise twenty times better.<br/> twenty times better!<br/> <br/> Of that never ending load<br/> that on all living creatures lies.<br/> Nor stoops to pity the sorrow in our eyes.<br/> <br/> It has been otherwise so much better!<br/> <br/> I wished that there might start eternity.<br/> Where our path for a while emerges<br/> then closes now when time is still.<br/> <br/> My whole youths starward longing could not win.<br/> <br/> The wound in the circuit of one vast coil<br/> proclaiming the time was neither wrong nor right.<br/> <br/> Then as it did, my thoughts are now for you sealed.<br/> Sealed as every star is blotted from the blackened sky.<br/> Is this all a once gallant hymn of dream salvation.<br/> <br/> The calyx of death's bounty giving back livid hieroglyph.<br/> Stamped on these lifeless things,<br/> The hand that mocked them and the heart that fled.<br/> The wound in the circuit of one vast coil.

Could unborn ages slowly sail?<br/> Before my view I could see every action painted there.<br/> <br/> To slumber in its endless gloom,<br/> then let me never pass a look in fates mysteries.<br/> There poverty and grief might stand<br/> by dark despairs corroding hand.<br/> <br/> Purification in the Old Law did save, and such, as yet once more<br/> I trust to have full sight of her without any restraint.<br/> <br/> Came vested all in white, pure as her mind.<br/> Her face was veiled; yet to my sight, her person shined.<br/> So clear, as in no face with more delight.<br/> But as to embrace her she fled into the night.<br/> <br/> The obscuring mirror of my era broke<br/> and made the great seem insignificant.<br/> But as to embrace her she fled into the night.<br/> <br/> Lost in that Syrian garden in the rain,<br/> you sleep, and know not you're dead in vain.<br/> No likely end could bring them loss<br/> or leave them like before.<br/> <br/> Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,<br/> You sleep and know you are not dead in vain.<br/> <br/> Then settle in its endless gloom.<br/> There let me never cast a look in fates mysteries.<br/> <br/> Came vested all in white, pure as her mind.<br/> Her face was veiled; yet to my sight, her person shined.

Come from the influence of an unseen star,<br/> beneath dark birds that fill the air.<br/> Like those who did not hear or care.<br/> We could not fathom what they meant,<br/> save only that they seemed<br/> to thin the blood along in our veins.<br/> <br/> I see the stars at mortal wars.<br/> In shadows danger lurks for those who stray.<br/> I warmed both hands before the fire of life.<br/> They are not long - the days of wine and roses.<br/> Within its vital boundary of the mind.<br/> <br/> Then thy shadows fall.<br/> The garden hardens and grows cold,<br/> and nothing gold like the fire in the night can stay.<br/> Only the faint moonlight on the stairs.<br/> <br/> All that has been was visible from the graves forgotten here.<br/> Down through these earthly mists, a vital breath of more ethereal air.<br/> <br/> Thy shadows fall.<br/> The garden hardens and grows cold, and I feel nothing.<br/> The garden hardens and grows cold.<br/> Gold like the fire in the night can't stay,<br/> and we forget each other.<br/> Only the faint moonlight shall remain,<br/> and think that I may never live to trace their shadows.

Only from the long line of spray<br/> where the sea meets the moon-bleached land,<br/> Listen, you'll hear the grating roar.<br/> <br/> Upon the straits on the French coast,<br/> the light gleams and is gone,<br/> the cliffs of glimmering and vast.<br/> <br/> From the tranquil bay, dark is the coming storm.<br/> <br/> The pebbles which the waves draw back<br/> between tufts of grey sea mosses.<br/> Nor in the high road ply, my trade of guilts and glosses.<br/> <br/> At their return up the high strand,<br/> begin, and cease, and then again begin.<br/> <br/> Only from the long line of spray you hear the grating roar,<br/> where the sea meets the moon-blanched land.<br/> Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,<br/> where ignorant armies clash by night.<br/> <br/> Between tufts of grey sea mosses.<br/> Nor in the abandoned high road ply, my trade of guilts and glosses.<br/> <br/> Glosses into - into this mind the turbid ebb and flow.<br/> We find in the sound - we find in the sound a thought.<br/> Nor in the abandoned high road ply, my trade of guilts and glosses.<br/> <br/> Between tufts of grey in the high road ply,<br/> beware where you step, the grave is wide.

Down to the empty hall where the dance was once long.<br/> In the troubled night how many loved their moments of grace.<br/> <br/> Over the expanse of the lonely shore.<br/> Thou art the dusk and the song,<br/> that is heard in the same bare place..<br/> under the dim moon.<br/> Which is the sound of the land.<br/> We dwell in the evening air.<br/> <br/> I took up my burden in the wilderness.<br/> Wise with great wisdom I lay it down.<br/> Burned by the brutal summer,<br/> now hearing the wind, I know what winter brings.<br/> <br/> I have slept through the spring storms,<br/> and I felt in my heart this strangeness.<br/> Not for the most kept secret,<br/> nor for the dead with their psalms.<br/> <br/> Over the expanse of the lonely shore.<br/> Thou art the dusk and the song,<br/> that is heard in the same bare place..<br/> under the blood moon.<br/> Sing no sad songs for me,<br/> round the griefs of the ages.<br/> <br/> With all their griefs in their arms,<br/> I labour by singing light.<br/> Not for ambition or the trade of charms<br/> on the ivory stage of their most secret heart.<br/> <br/> Over long leagues of forgotten waters<br/> Thou art the song that is heard on the shifting sands<br/> with an empty impulse of delight.

Where is the shimmer of evil?<br/> We come and we turn from the fiery day<br/> and peer into the indefinite unshapen night.<br/> <br/> With vacant gloaming, sad as half-lit minds,<br/> The weak-limned hour when the sick men's sighs are drained.<br/> We feel the obscurity of an order.<br/> And the day stains with what seems to be more than the sun.<br/> <br/> Sometimes like a pale grey fog they drift.<br/> Sometimes they haunt our dreams<br/> like forgotten melodies.<br/> Only half remembered,<br/> There in my heart, you moved among them.<br/> and, in this same light in the evening air,<br/> I felt the spell that held my breath.<br/> <br/> Sometimes they haunt our dreams<br/> I felt the spell that held my breath.<br/> <br/> But only a host of phantom listeners<br/> that dwelt in the lone house then,<br/> stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight.<br/> But I was desolate and sick of an old passion,<br/> longing to put the pale memories out of mind.<br/> <br/> Here now we forget each other and ourselves<br/> from a knowledge that which was arranged.<br/> Despairs hand would make me seek<br/> the lonely tomb and pass by the waters.<br/> <br/> Sometimes like a pale grey fog they drift.<br/> Sometimes they haunt our dreams<br/> like forgotten melodies.<br/> Only half remembered,<br/> There in my heart, you moved among them x2

We turn from the day full of the same dark winds.<br/> They pass from the waters to the world from the voice of men.<br/> And drove our share through flesh and bone.<br/> and turned them under to mould and stone.<br/> <br/> The twilight shades grow deeper into the sleepless night,<br/> lost from their dream of life.<br/> <br/> They pass from the waters to the world from the voice of men.<br/> <br/> Come to the window, where begins the eternal note of sadness<br/> Here even dreams ascend in smoke.<br/> <br/> Gagged by the smothering wing which none unbinds.<br/> I dreaded even a heaven with doors so chained.<br/> There I watched for the dead.<br/> Each life exiled but no ghost awoke.<br/> There only stillness answering our cry.<br/> Exercised in the still of night.<br/> <br/> We turn from the day full of the same dark winds.<br/> The twilight shades grow deeper into the sleepless night,<br/> lost from their dream of life.
