ivor gurney - scents lyrics

Loading...

today i think
only of scents, ++ scents dead leaves yield
bracken, wild carrot seed
and the square mustard field;

scents that arise
when the spade wounds the roots of tree
rose, currant, raspberry, goutweed
rhubarb celery;

the smoke’s smell, too
blowing from where the bonfire burns
the waste, the dead, the dangerous
and all to sweetness turns

it is enough
to smell, to crumble the dark earth
while the robin sings over again
sad songs of [autumn]8 mirth
