come comet or dove - devon sproule lyrics
the heat had set in as the summer began
i had just ceased to sing winter’s sore tune
and rested my arm on the forgotten farmer
of all that i can call my fortune
fall broke the beak of the small bird that beat
in his breast and out through his heels
and i heartsunk to think of it’s stammering wing
beneath heavy and relentless wheels!
i pulled up in the evening while he was still sleeping
out jumped i and ran ‘cross his floor
and there he lay white and a guardian darling
caught up in slumber and i caught at his door
“he blushes therefore he is guilty,” cried i,
“of some private reverie grand!” so i took him
and shook him and made to unhook him
by squeezing and slapping his hand
the slow work of a blank book hung where we met
and he slept in the depths of his bed
and i, oh, kissed the sweat from his head
right or wrong, to him alone i come to be fed.
i said, “come back to me love, come comet or dove,
to my garden, come bladed or bled!”
