Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEE FFGHIJ HKLLI think the dead are tender Shall we kiss | A |
My lady laughs delighting in what is | B |
If she but sighs a bird puts out its tongue | C |
She makes space lonely with a lovely song | D |
She lilts a low soft language and I hear | E |
Down long sea chambers of the inner ear | E |
- | |
We sing together we sing mouth to mouth | F |
The garden is a river flowing south | F |
She cries out loud the soul's own secret joy | G |
She dances and the ground bears her away | H |
She knows the speech of light and makes it plain | I |
A lively thing can come to life again | J |
- | |
I feel her presence in the common day | H |
In that slow dark that widens every eye | K |
She moves as water moves and comes to me | L |
Stayed by what was and pulled by what would be | L |
