There was a saviourA
Rarer than radiumB
Commoner than water crueller than truthC
Children kept from the sunD
Assembled at his tongueE
To hear the golden note turn in a grooveF
Prisoners of wishes locked their eyesG
In the jails and studies of his keyless smilesH
-
The voice of children saysI
From a lost wildernessJ
There was calm to be done in his safe unrestK
When hindering man hurtL
Man animal or birdM
We hid our fears in that murdering breathN
Silence silence to do when earth grew loudO
In lairs and asylums of the tremendous shoutP
-
There was glory to hearA
In the churches of his tearsQ
Under his downy arm you sighed as he struckR
O you who could not cryA
On to the ground when a man diedS
Put a tear for joy in the unearthly floodT
And laid your cheek against a cloud formed shellU
Now in the dark there is only yourself and myselfV
-
Two proud blacked brothers cryA
Winter locked side by sideS
To this inhospitable hollow yearA
O we who could not stirA
One lean sigh when we heardM
Greed on man beating near and fire neighbourA
But wailed and nested in the sky blue wallW
Now break a giant tear for the little known fallW
-
For the drooping of homesX
That did not nurse our bonesY
Brave deaths of only ones but never foundZ
Now see alone in usJ
Our own true strangers' dustA2
Ride through the doors of our unentered houseB2
Exiled in us we arouse the softC2
Unclenched armless silk and rough love that breaks all rocksD2
