This day winding down nowA
At God speeded summer's endB
In the torrent salmon sunC
In my seashaken houseD
On a breakneck of rocksE
Tangled with chirrup and fruitF
Froth flute fin and quillG
At a wood's dancing hoofH
By scummed starfish sandsI
With their fishwife crossJ
Gulls pipers cockles and snailsK
Out there crow black menL
Tackled with clouds who kneelM
To the sunset netsN
Geese nearly in heaven boysO
Stabbing and herons and shellsP
That speak seven seasQ
Eternal waters awayR
From the cities of nineS
Days' night whose towers will catchT
In the religious windU
Like stalks of tall dry strawV
At poor peace I singW
To you strangers though songX
Is a burning and crested actY
The fire of birds inZ
The world's turning woodA2
For my swan splay soundsB2
Out of these seathumbed leavesC2
That will fly and fallD2
Like leaves of trees and as soonE2
Crumble and undieA2
Into the dogdayed nightA2
Seaward the salmon sucked sun slipsF2
And the dumb swans drub blueG2
My dabbed bay's dusk as I hackH2
This rumpus of shapesI2
For you to knowJ2
How I a spining manK2
Glory also this star birdA2
Roared sea born man torn blood blestA2
Hark I trumpet the placeL2
From fish to jumping hill LookM2
I build my bellowing arkN2
To the best of my loveO2
As the flood beginsP2
Out of the fountainheadA2
Of fear rage read manaliveO2
Molten and mountainous to streamQ2
Over the wound asleepR2
Sheep white hollow farmsS2
To Wales in my armsS2
Hoo there in castle keepR2
You king singsong owls who moonbeamQ2
The flickering runs and diveO2
The dingle furred deer deadA2
Huloo on plumbed brynsS2
O my ruffled ring doveO2
in the hooting nearly darkN2
With Welsh and reverent rookM2
Coo rooning the woods' praiseS2
who moons her blue notes from her nestA2
Down to the curlew herdA2
Ho hullaballoing clanK2
Agape with woeJ2
In your beaks on the gabbing capesS2
Heigh on horseback hill jackH2
Whisking hare whoG2
Hears there this fox light my flood ship'sS2
Clangour as I hew and smiteA2
A clash of anvils for myT2
Hubbub and fiddle this tuneE2
On atounged puffballG2
But animals thick as theivesS2
On God's rough tumbling groundsS2
Hail to His beasthoodA2
Beasts who sleep good and thinZ
Hist in hogback woods The haystackedA2
Hollow farms ina throngX
Of waters cluck and clingW
And barnroofs cockcrow warU2
O kingdom of neighbors finnedA2
Felled and quilled flash to my patchT
Work ark and the moonshineS
Drinking Noah of the bayR
With pelt and scale and fleeceS2
Only the drowned deep bellsS2
Of sheep and churches noiseS2
Poor peace as the sun setsS2
And dark shoals every holy fieldA2
We will ride out alone thenL
Under the stars of WalesS2
Cry Multiudes of arks AcrossS2
The water lidded landsS2
Manned with their loves they'll moveO2
Like wooden islands hill to hillG2
Huloo my prowed dove with a fluteA2
Ahoy old sea legged foxS2
Tom tit and Dai mouseS2
My ark sings in the sunC
At God speeded summer's endA2
And the flood flowers nowA
