clock-a-clay - richard rodney bennett lyrics
in the cowslip pips i lie
hidden from a buzzing fly
while green gr-ss beneath me lies
pearled with dew like fishes’ eyes
here i lie, a clock-a-clay
waiting for the time of day
while [the]1 forest quakes surprise
and the wild wind sobs and sighs
my home rocks as like to fall
on its pillar green and tall
while the pattering rain drives by
clock-a-clay keeps warm and dry
day by day and night by night
all the week i hide from sight
in the cowslip pips i lie
in rain and dew still warm and dry
day and night and night and day
red, black-spotted clock-a-clay
my home shakes in wind and showers
pale green pillar topped with flowers
bending at the wild wind’s breath
till i touch the gr-ss beneath;
here i live, lone clock-a-clay
watching for the time of day
