They did the deed of darkness | B |
In their own mid light | C |
- | |
- | |
He plucked a gray field mouse | D |
Suddenly in the wind | E |
- | |
- | |
The small dead fly alive | F |
Helplessly in his beak | G |
- | |
- | |
His cold pride helpless | B |
All she receives is life | H |
- | |
- | |
They are terrified They touch | I |
Life is too much | I |
- | |
- | |
She flies away sorrowing | G |
Sorrowing she goes alone | J |
- | |
- | |
Then her small falcon gone | K |
Will not rise here again | L |
- | |
- | |
Smaller than she he goes | M |
Claw beneath claw beneath | N |
Needles and leaning boughs | O |
- | |
- | |
While she the lovelier | P |
Of these brief differing two | Q |
Floats away sorrowing | G |
- | |
- | |
Tall as my love for you | Q |
- | |
- | |
And almost lonelier | P |
- | |
- | |
Delighted in the delighting | G |
I love you in mid air | P |
I love myself the ground | R |
- | |
- | |
The great wings sing nothing | G |
Lightly Lightly fall | S |
