lirik lagu sir john gielgud - preludes
the winter evening settles down
with smell of steaks in passageways
six o’clock
the burnt~out ends of smoky days
and now a gusty shower wraps
the grimy scr~ps
of withered leaves about your feet
and newspapers from vacant lots;
the showers beat
on broken blinds and chimney~pots
and at the corner of the street
a lonely cab~horse steams and stamps
and then the lighting of the lamps
the morning comes to consciousness
of faint stale smells of beer
from the sawdust~trampled street
with all its muddy feet that press
to early coffee~stands
with the other masquerades
that time resumes
one thinks of all the hands
that are raising dingy shades
in a thousand furnished rooms
you tossed a blanket from the bed
you lay upon your back, and waited;
you dozed, and watched the night revealing
the thousand sordid images
of which your soul was constituted;
they fl!ckered against the ceiling
and when all the world came back
and the light crept up between the shutters
and you heard the sparrows in the gutters
you had such a vision of the street
as the street hardly understands;
sitting along the bed’s edge, where
you curled the papers from your hair
or clasped the yellow soles of feet
in the palms of both soiled hands
his soul stretched tight across the skies
that fade behind a city block
or trampled by insistent feet
at four and five and six o’clock;
and short square fingers stuffing pipes
and evening newspapers, and eyes
assured of certain certainties
the conscience of a blackened street
impatient to assume the world
i am moved by fancies that are curled
around these images, and cling:
the notion of some infinitely gentle
infinitely suffering thing
wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
the worlds revolve like ancient women
gathering fuel in vacant lots
