It was my thirtieth year to heavenA
Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour woodB
And the mussel pooled and the heronA
Priested shoreC
The morning beckonA
With water praying and call of seagull and rookD
And the knock of sailing boats on the net webbed wallE
Myself to set footF
That secondG
In the still sleeping town and set forthH
-
My birthday began with the waterI
Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my nameJ
Above the farms and the white horsesK
And I roseL
In rainy autumnM
And walked abroad in a shower of all my daysN
High tide and the heron dived when I took the roadO
Over the borderI
And the gatesP
Of the town closed as the town awokeQ
-
A springful of larks in a rollingR
Cloud and the roadside bushes brimming with whistlingR
Blackbirds and the sun of OctoberI
SummeryI
On the hill's shoulderI
Here were fond climates and sweet singers suddenlyS
Come in the morning where I wandered and listenedG
To the rain wringingR
Wind blow coldT
In the wood faraway under meS
-
Pale rain over the dwindling harbourI
And over the sea wet church the size of a snailU
With its horns through mist and the castleV
Brown as owlsW
But all the gardensX
Of spring and summer were blooming in the tall talesY
Beyond the border and under the lark full cloudZ
There could I marvelV
My birthdayA2
Away but the weather turned aroundB2
-
It turned away from the blithe countryS
And down the other air and the blue altered skyC2
Streamed again a wonder of summerI
With applesD2
Pears and red currantsD2
And I saw in the turning so clearly a child'sD2
Forgotten mornings when he walked with his motherI
Through the parablesD2
Of sun lightE2
And the legends of the green chapelsD2
-
And the twice told fields of infancyD2
That his tears burned my cheeks and his heart moved in mineF2
These were the woods the river and seaD2
Where a boyG2
In the listeningR
Summertime of the dead whispered the truth of his joyG2
To the trees and the stones and the fish in the tideH2
And the mysteryD2
Sang aliveI2
Still in the water and singingbirdsD2
-
And there could I marvel my birthdayA2
Away but the weather turned around And the trueI
Joy of the long dead child sang burningR
In the sunA
It was my thirtiethJ2
Year to heaven stood there then in the summer noonK2
Though the town below lay leaved with October bloodL2
O may my heart's truthM2
Still be sungN2
On this high hill in a year's turningR
