voyage - elliott carter lyrics

Loading...

infinite consanguinity it bears —
this tendered theme of you that light
retrieves from sea plains where the sky
resigns a breast that every wave enthrones;
while ribboned water lanes i wind
are laved and scattered with no stroke
wide from your side, whereto this hour
the sea lifts, also, reliquary hands

and so, admitted through black swollen gates
that must arrest all distance otherwise, —
past whirling pillars and lithe pediments
light wrestling there incessantly with light
star kissing star through wave on wave unto
your body rocking!
and where death, if shed
presumes no carnage, but this single change, —
upon the steep floor flung from dawn to dawn
the silken sk!lled transmemberment of song;

permit me voyage, love, into your hands …
