I	A
	-
The Trumpet Vine Arbour	B
	-
The throats of the little red trumpet flowers are wide open	C
And the clangour of brass beats against the hot sunlight	D
They bray and blare at the burning sky	A
Red Red Coarse notes of red	E
Trumpeted at the blue sky	A
In long streaks of sound molten metal	F
The vine declares itself	G
Clang from its red and yellow trumpets	H
Clang from its long nasal trumpets	H
Splitting the sunlight into ribbons tattered and shot with noise	I
	-
I sit in the cool arbour in a green and gold twilight	D
It is very still for I cannot hear the trumpets	H
I only know that they are red and open	C
And that the sun above the arbour shakes with heat	J
My quill is newly mended	K
And makes fine drawn lines with its point	L
Down the long white paper it makes little lines	M
Just lines up down criss cross	N
My heart is strained out at the pin point of my quill	O
It is thin and writhing like the marks of the pen	P
My hand marches to a squeaky tune	Q
It marches down the paper to a squealing of fifes	N
My pen and the trumpet flowers	N
And Washington's armies away over the smoke tree to the Southwest	R
'Yankee Doodle ' my Darling It is you against the British	S
Marching in your ragged shoes to batter down King George	T
What have you got in your hat Not a feather I wager	B
Just a hay straw for it is the harvest you are fighting for	U
Hay in your hat and the whites of their eyes for a target	V
Like Bunker Hill two years ago when I watched all day from the house top	W
Through Father's spy glass	N
The red city and the blue bright water	B
And puffs of smoke which you made	X
Twenty miles away	Y
Round by Cambridge or over the Neck	Z
But the smoke was white white	D
To day the trumpet flowers are red red	E
And I cannot see you fighting	A2
But old Mr Dimond has fled to Canada	B2
And Myra sings 'Yankee Doodle' at her milking	A2
The red throats of the trumpets bray and clang in the sunshine	C2
And the smoke tree puffs dun blossoms into the blue air	D2

II	A
	-
	-
The City of Falling Leaves	N
	-
Leaves fall	E2
Brown leaves	N
Yellow leaves streaked with brown	F2
They fall	E2
Flutter	B
Fall again	P
The brown leaves	N
And the streaked yellow leaves	N
Loosen on their branches	N
And drift slowly downwards	N
One	C
One two three	G2
One two five	H2
All Venice is a falling of Autumn leaves	N
Brown	F2
And yellow streaked with brown	F2
	-
'That sonnet Abate	I2
Beautiful	F
I am quite exhausted by it	J2
Your phrases turn about my heart	K2
And stifle me to swooning	A2
Open the window I beg	L2
Lord What a strumming of fiddles and mandolins	N
'Tis really a shame to stop indoors	N
Call my maid or I will make you lace me yourself	G
Fie how hot it is not a breath of air	D2
See how straight the leaves are falling	A2
Marianna I will have the yellow satin caught up with silver fringe	M2
It peeps out delightfully from under a mantle	F
Am I well painted to day caro Abate mio'	N2
You will be proud of me at the Ridotto' hey	Y
Proud of being Cavalier Servente' to such a lady '	-
'Can you doubt it Bellissima Contessa'	N
A pinch more rouge on the right cheek	O2
And Venus herself shines less '	-
'You bore me Abate	I2
I vow I must change you	P2
A letter Achmet	I2
Run and look out of the window Abate	I2
I will read my letter in peace '	-
The little black slave with the yellow satin turban	C
Gazes at his mistress with strained eyes	N
His yellow turban and black skin	Q2
Are gorgeous barbaric	R2
The yellow satin dress with its silver flashings	N
Lies on a chair	D2
Beside a black mantle and a black mask	S2
Yellow and black	T2
Gorgeous barbaric	R2
The lady reads her letter	B
And the leaves drift slowly	G2
Past the long windows	N
'How silly you look my dear Abate	I2
With that great brown leaf in your wig	U2
Pluck it off I beg you	P2
Or I shall die of laughing '	-
	-
A yellow wall	E2
Aflare in the sunlight	I2
Chequered with shadows	N
Shadows of vine leaves	N
Shadows of masks	N
Masks coming printing themselves for an instant	I2
Then passing on	V2
More masks always replacing them	N2
Masks with tricorns and rapiers sticking out behind	I2
Pursuing masks with plumes and high heels	N
The sunlight shining under their insteps	N
One	C
One two	P2
One two three	G2
There is a thronging of shadows on the hot wall	E2
Filigreed at the top with moving leaves	N
Yellow sunlight and black shadows	N
Yellow and black	T2
Gorgeous barbaric	R2
Two masks stand together	B
And the shadow of a leaf falls through them	N2
Marking the wall where they are not	I2
From hat tip to shoulder tip	W2
From elbow to sword hilt	I2
The leaf falls	N
The shadows mingle	F
Blur together	B
Slide along the wall and disappear	X2
Gold of mosaics and candles	N
And night blackness lurking in the ceiling beams	N
Saint Mark's glitters with flames and reflections	N
A cloak brushes aside	I2
And the yellow of satin	C
Licks out over the coloured inlays of the pavement	I2
Under the gold crucifixes	N
There is a meeting of hands	N
Reaching from black mantles	N
Sighing embraces bold investigations	N
Hide in confessionals	N
Sheltered by the shuffling of feet	I2
Gorgeous barbaric	R2
In its mail of jewels and gold	I2
Saint Mark's looks down at the swarm of black masks	N
And outside in the palace gardens brown leaves fall	E2
Flutter	B
Fall	E2
Brown	F2
And yellow streaked with brown	F2
	-
Blue black the sky over Venice	N
With a pricking of yellow stars	N
There is no moon	Q
And the waves push darkly against the prow	Y2
Of the gondola	B2
Coming from Malamocco	R2
And streaming toward Venice	N
It is black under the gondola hood	I2
But the yellow of a satin dress	N
Glares out like the eye of a watching tiger	B
Yellow compassed about with darkness	N
Yellow and black	R2
Gorgeous barbaric	R2
The boatman sings	N
It is Tasso that he sings	N
The lovers seek each other beneath their mantles	N
And the gondola drifts over the lagoon aslant to the coming dawn	Z2
But at Malamocco in front	I2
In Venice behind	I2
Fall the leaves	N
Brown	F2
And yellow streaked with brown	F2
They fall	E2
Flutter	B
Fall	E2
