lirik lagu joseph schwantner - there
he planted the elms, the eucalyptus
the little cypress, and watered them
in the long dusk of summer
so that in the dry land
twilight was a sound of water. years ago
the amaryllis stick their stiff
trumpets still blowing blasts of bright pink
up through the wild~oats
unwatered, uncounted, undaunted
do you see: there where his absence
stands by each tree waiting for nightfall
where shadows are his being gone, there
where grey pines that no one planted
grow tall and die, and grain that no one sowed
whitens the august hills with wild ripeness
and an old house stands empty
there
the averted face of absence
turns. there silence returns answer. there
the years can go uncounted, seeing
evening rise like water through the leaves
and as ever over the highest elm vega
like a wild white poppy, opening
in the country of pain
truly there only rises
(a white star, a white flower
an old standpipe running water
to the roots of trees
in a dry land)
the small spring of peace
