At God speeded summer's end | B |
In the torrent salmon sun | C |
In my seashaken house | D |
On a breakneck of rocks | E |
Tangled with chirrup and fruit | F |
Froth flute fin and quill | G |
At a wood's dancing hoof | H |
By scummed starfish sands | I |
With their fishwife cross | J |
Gulls pipers cockles and snails | K |
Out there crow black men | L |
Tackled with clouds who kneel | M |
To the sunset nets | N |
Geese nearly in heaven boys | O |
Stabbing and herons and shells | P |
That speak seven seas | Q |
Eternal waters away | R |
From the cities of nine | S |
Days' night whose towers will catch | T |
In the religious wind | U |
Like stalks of tall dry straw | V |
At poor peace I sing | W |
To you strangers though song | X |
Is a burning and crested act | Y |
The fire of birds in | Z |
The world's turning wood | A2 |
For my swan splay sounds | B2 |
Out of these seathumbed leaves | C2 |
That will fly and fall | D2 |
Like leaves of trees and as soon | E2 |
Crumble and undie | A2 |
Into the dogdayed night | A2 |
Seaward the salmon sucked sun slips | F2 |
And the dumb swans drub blue | G2 |
My dabbed bay's dusk as I hack | H2 |
This rumpus of shapes | I2 |
For you to know | J2 |
How I a spining man | K2 |
Glory also this star bird | A2 |
Roared sea born man torn blood blest | A2 |
Hark I trumpet the place | L2 |
From fish to jumping hill Look | M2 |
I build my bellowing ark | N2 |
To the best of my love | O2 |
As the flood begins | P2 |
Out of the fountainhead | A2 |
Of fear rage read manalive | O2 |
Molten and mountainous to stream | Q2 |
Over the wound asleep | R2 |
Sheep white hollow farms | S2 |
To Wales in my arms | S2 |
Hoo there in castle keep | R2 |
You king singsong owls who moonbeam | Q2 |
The flickering runs and dive | O2 |
The dingle furred deer dead | A2 |
Huloo on plumbed bryns | S2 |
O my ruffled ring dove | O2 |
in the hooting nearly dark | N2 |
With Welsh and reverent rook | M2 |
Coo rooning the woods' praise | S2 |
who moons her blue notes from her nest | A2 |
Down to the curlew herd | A2 |
Ho hullaballoing clan | K2 |
Agape with woe | J2 |
In your beaks on the gabbing capes | S2 |
Heigh on horseback hill jack | H2 |
Whisking hare who | G2 |
Hears there this fox light my flood ship's | S2 |
Clangour as I hew and smite | A2 |
A clash of anvils for my | T2 |
Hubbub and fiddle this tune | E2 |
On atounged puffball | G2 |
But animals thick as theives | S2 |
On God's rough tumbling grounds | S2 |
Hail to His beasthood | A2 |
Beasts who sleep good and thin | Z |
Hist in hogback woods The haystacked | A2 |
Hollow farms ina throng | X |
Of waters cluck and cling | W |
And barnroofs cockcrow war | U2 |
O kingdom of neighbors finned | A2 |
Felled and quilled flash to my patch | T |
Work ark and the moonshine | S |
Drinking Noah of the bay | R |
With pelt and scale and fleece | S2 |
Only the drowned deep bells | S2 |
Of sheep and churches noise | S2 |
Poor peace as the sun sets | S2 |
And dark shoals every holy field | A2 |
We will ride out alone then | L |
Under the stars of Wales | S2 |
Cry Multiudes of arks Across | S2 |
The water lidded lands | S2 |
Manned with their loves they'll move | O2 |
Like wooden islands hill to hill | G2 |
Huloo my prowed dove with a flute | A2 |
Ahoy old sea legged fox | S2 |
Tom tit and Dai mouse | S2 |
My ark sings in the sun | C |
At God speeded summer's end | A2 |
And the flood flowers now | A |
