lirik lagu robert penn warren - bearded oaks

Loading...

the oaks, how subtle and marine
bearded, and all the layered light
above them swims; and thus the scene
recessed, awaits the positive night

so, waiting, we in the grass now lie
beneath the languorous tread of light:
the grassed, kelp~like, satisfy
the nameless motions of the air

upon the floor of light, and time
unmurmuring, of polyp made
we rest; we are, as light withdraws
twin atolls on a shelf of shade

ages to our construction went
dim architecture, hour by hour:
and violence, forgot now, lent
the present stillness all its power

the storm of noon above us rolled
of light the fury, furious gold
the long drag troubling us, the depth:
dark is unrocking, unrippling, still

passion and slaughter, ruth, decay
descend, minutely whispering down
silted down swaying streams, to lay
foundation for our voicelessness
all our debate is voiceless here
as all our rage, the rage of stone;
if hope is hopeless, then fearless is fear
and history is thus undone

our feet once wrought the hollow street
with echo when the lamps were dead
all windows, once our headlight glare
disturbed the doe that, leaping fled

i do not love you less that now
the caged heart makes iron stroke
or less that all that light once gave
the graduate dark should now revoke

we live in time so little time
and we learn all so painfully
that we may spare this hour’s term
to practice for eternity
