northern april - eric ewazen lyrics

Loading...

o mind, beset by music never for a moment quiet, –
the wind at the flue, the wind strumming the shutter;
the soft, antiphonal speech of the doubled brook, never for a moment quiet;
the rush of the rain against the glass, his voice in the eaves*gutter!

where shall i lay you to sleep, and the robins be quiet?
lay you to sleep – and the frogs be silent in the marsh?
crashes the sleet from the bough and the bough sighs upward, never for a moment quiet
april is upon us, pitiless and young and harsh

o april, full of blood, full of breath, have pity upon us!
pale, where the winter like a stone has been lifted away, we emerge like yellow grass
be for a moment quiet, buffet us not, have pity upon us
till the green comes back into the vein, till the giddiness pass
