lirik lagu gideon wagner - eden in winter by vachel lindsay
chant we the story now
tho’ in a house we sleep;
tho’ by a hearth of coals
vigil to~night we keep
chant we the story now
of the vague love we knew
when i from out the sea
rose to the feet of you
bird from the cliffs you came
flew thro’ the snow to me
facing the icy blast
there by the icy sea
how did i reach your feet?
why should i — at the end
hold out half~frozen hands
dumbly to you my friend?
ne’er had i woman seen
ne’er had i seen a flame
there you piled f~gots on
heat rosе — the blast to tame
therе by the cave~door dark
comforting me you cried —
wailed o’er my wounded knee
wept for my rock~torn side
up from the south i trailed —
left regions fierce and fair!
left all the jungle~trees
left the red tiger’s lair
dream led, i scarce knew why
into your north i trod —
ne’er had i known the snow
or the frost~blasted sod
o how the flakes came down!
o how the fire burned high!
strange thing to see he was
thro’ his dry twigs would fly
creep there awhile and sleep —
then wake and bark for fight —
biting if i too near
came to his eye so bright
then with a will you fed
wood to his hungry tongue
then he did leap and sing —
dancing the clouds among
turning the night to noon
stinging my eyes with light
making the snow retreat
making the cave~house bright
there were dry f~gots piled
nuts and dry leaves and roots
stores there of furs and hides
sweet~barks and grains and fruits
there wrapped in fur we lay
half~burned, half~frozen still —
ne’er will my soul forget
all the night’s bitter chill
we had not learned to speak
i was to you a strange
wolfling or wounded fawn
lost from his forest~range
thirsting for bl~~dy meat
out at the dawn we went
weighed with our prey at eve
home~came we all forespent
comrades and hunters tried
ere we were maid and man —
not till the spring awoke
laughter and speech began
whining like forest dogs
rustling like budding trees
bubbling like thawing springs
humming like little bees
crooning like maytime tides
chattering parrot words
crying the panther’s cry
chirping like mating birds —
thus, thus, we learned to speak
who mid the snows were dumb
nor did we learn to kiss
until the spring had come
