sea canes - derek walcott lyrics

Loading...

half my friends are dead
i will make you new ones, said earth
no, give me them back, as they were, instead
with faults and all, i cried

tonight i can sn*tch their talk
from the faint surf’s drone
through the canes, but i cannot walk

on the moonlit leaves of ocean
down that white road alone
or float with the dreaming motion

of owls leaving earth’s load
o earth, the number of friends you keep
exceeds those left to be loved

the sea canes by the cliff flash green and silver;
they were the seraph lances of my faith
but out of what is lost grows something stronger

that has the rational radiance of stone
enduring moonlight, further than despair
strong as the wind, that through dividing caves

brings those we love before us as they were
with faults and all, not n0bler, just there

- derek walcott lyrics
