lirik lagu louise bogan - putting to sea

who, in the dark, has cast the harbor~chain?
this is no journey to a land we know
the autumn night receives us, ho~rs~ with rain
storm flakes with roaring foam the way we go

sodden with summer, stupid with its loves
the country which we leave, and now this bare
circle of ocean which the heaven proves
deep as its height, and barren with despair

now this whole silence, through which nothing breaks
now this whole sea, which we possess alone
flung out from shore with speed a missile takes
when somе hard hand, in hatred, flings a stone

the way should mark our coursе within the night
the streaming system, turned without a sound
what choice is this ~ profundity and flight ~
great sea? our lives through we have trod the ground

motion beneath us, fixity above
“o but you should rejoice! the course we steer
points to a beach bright to the rocks with love
where, in hot calms, blades clatter on the ear;

and spiny fruits up through the earth are fed
with fire; the palm trees clatter; the wave leaps
fleeing a shore where heart~loathed love lies dead
we point lands where love fountains from its deeps
through every season the co~rs~ fruits are set
in earth not fed by streams.” soft into time
once broke the flower: pear and violet
the cinquefoil. the tall elm tree and the lime

once held out fruitless boughs, and fluid green
once rained about us, pulse of earth indeed
there, out of metal, and to light obscene
the flamy blooms burn backward to their seed

with so much hated still so close behind
the sterile shores before us must be faced;
again, against the body and the mind
the hate that bruises, though the heart is braced

bend to the chart, in the extinguished night
mariners! make way slowly; stay from sleep;
that we may have short respite from such light
and learn, with joy, the gulf, the vast, the deep
