eric ewazen - the buck in the snow lyrics
Loading...
white sky, over the hemlocks bowed with snow
saw you not at the beginning of evening the antlered buck and his doe
standing in the apple+orchard? i saw them. i saw them suddenly go
tails up, with long leaps lovely and slow
over the stone+wall into the wood of hemlocks bowed with snow
now lies he here, his wild blood scalding the snow
how strange a thing is death, bringing to his knees, bringing to his antlers
the buck in the snow
how strange a thing, — a mile away by now, it may be
under the heavy hеmlocks that as the moments pass
shift their loads a littlе, letting fall a feather of snow —
life, looking out attentive from the eyes of the doe
