Acts of injustice done
Between the setting and the rising sun
In history lie like bones, each one.
Cold, impossible, ahead
Lifts the mountain's lovely head
Whose white waterfall could bless
Travellers in their last distress.
Now the leaves are falling fast,
Nurse's flowers will not last;
Nurses to their graves are gone,
And the prams go rolling on.
I am beginning to lose patience
With my personal relations.
They are not deep
And they are not cheap.
Look, stranger, on this island now
The leaping light for your delight discovers,
Stand stable here
And silent be,
That through the channels of the ear
May wander like a river
The swaying sound of the sea.
To ask the hard question is simple,
The simple act of the confused will.
