Now Sleep, Our oldest friend, Lulls in the trees And calls Us in. The leaves Give off cold fire, They blaze into ash At the end of the year. And birds Coast on the winds, And the wheel to the north When autumn ends. The day grows dark, The seasons bare, But we Await the sun's Green fire upon The trees. The wind Dives through the days. By season, by moon Great kingdoms arise. The breath Of firefly, of bird, Of trees, of mankind fades in a word. Now Sleep, Our oldest friend, Lulls in the trees And calls Us in. The Age, The thousand lives Of men and their stories Go to their graves. But We, The people long In poem and glory Fade from the song. Last Modified: Sunday May 31, 2020 |
