Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMNOP AQRASTUV ASAAMAWW XYZJA2B2C2D2There was a saviour | A |
Rarer than radium | B |
Commoner than water crueller than truth | C |
Children kept from the sun | D |
Assembled at his tongue | E |
To hear the golden note turn in a groove | F |
Prisoners of wishes locked their eyes | G |
In the jails and studies of his keyless smiles | H |
- | |
The voice of children says | I |
From a lost wilderness | J |
There was calm to be done in his safe unrest | K |
When hindering man hurt | L |
Man animal or bird | M |
We hid our fears in that murdering breath | N |
Silence silence to do when earth grew loud | O |
In lairs and asylums of the tremendous shout | P |
- | |
There was glory to hear | A |
In the churches of his tears | Q |
Under his downy arm you sighed as he struck | R |
O you who could not cry | A |
On to the ground when a man died | S |
Put a tear for joy in the unearthly flood | T |
And laid your cheek against a cloud formed shell | U |
Now in the dark there is only yourself and myself | V |
- | |
Two proud blacked brothers cry | A |
Winter locked side by side | S |
To this inhospitable hollow year | A |
O we who could not stir | A |
One lean sigh when we heard | M |
Greed on man beating near and fire neighbour | A |
But wailed and nested in the sky blue wall | W |
Now break a giant tear for the little known fall | W |
- | |
For the drooping of homes | X |
That did not nurse our bones | Y |
Brave deaths of only ones but never found | Z |
Now see alone in us | J |
Our own true strangers' dust | A2 |
Ride through the doors of our unentered house | B2 |
Exiled in us we arouse the soft | C2 |
Unclenched armless silk and rough love that breaks all rocks | D2 |
