derek walcott - sea canes lyrics
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
