aftermath: grief - ned rorem lyrics
Loading...
i tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
that only men incredulous of despair
half*taught in anguish, through the midnight air
beat upward to god’s throne in loud access
of shrieking and reproach. full desertness
in souls as countries lieth silent*bare
under the blanching, vertical eye*glare
of the absolute heavens. deep*hearted man, express
grief for thy dead in silence like to death **
most like a monumental statue set
in everlasting watch and moveless woe
till itself crumble to the dust beneath
touch it; the marble eyelids are not wet:
if it could weep, it could arise and go
