a man young and old - siobhan mckenna lyrics
though nurtured like the sailing moon
in beauty’s murderous brood
she walked awhile and blushed awhile
and on my pathway stood
until i thought her body bore
a heart of flesh and blood
but since i laid a hand thereon
and found a heart of stone
i have attempted many things
and not a thing is done
for every hand is lunatic
that travels on the moon
she smiled and that transfigured me
and left me but a lout
maundering here, and maundering there
emptier of thought
than the heavenly circuit of its stars
when the moon sails out
like the moon her kindness is
if kindness i may call
what has no comprehension in’t
but is the same for all
as though my sorrow were a scene
upon a painted wall
so like a bit of stone i lie
under a broken tree
i could recover if i shrieked
my heart’s agony
to passing bird, but i am dumb
from human dignity
a mermaid found a swimming lad
picked him for her own
pressed her body to his body
laughed; and plunging down
forgot in cruel happiness
that even lovers drown
