a poet's lyre (revisited) - in gowan ring lyrics

[verse 1]
childhood made a poet’s lyre
hands embroidered in limbs of dark briar
bent to the wind’s plaintive whistling words
scattering whispers in your nettled hood
would they fall to a weathered home
with branches of arms for a laden pillow
and years wrought of withering laurels
blossoms now on the apple boughs
stars are near to the shaded arbor
once a hand could touch
wherefore the other will search

[verse 2]
childhood made a poet’s lyre
heart enfolded in wings of black bird
could they fly on feathers borne
when lips salute the hazel h*rn
or would they crawl through a weathered home
should lips encumber a mordant moan
bent to the wind’s whistling word

[verse 3]
what cloudy jest at this darkened hearth
what cloistered heart to hold the black earth
once a hand could touch
wherefore the other will search
[instrumental outro]
