yahya parkinson - verses lyrics

Loading...

[stanza 1]
half+hidden i lay in a hollow
‘mid the glare of the spears of the hay;
above me twittered the swallow
as it glided and skimmed on its way;
afar with a waft of its wing
it threaded the air in its flight
and the aerial sea, like a king
it breasted, a speck in the light

[stanza 2]
high over me towered a ruin
in the tragical glory of years
with dungeons that grass never grew in
but enriched with the splendour of tears;
on the top of the wall was a flower
that was blooming alone ’mid the leaves
still wet with the breath of a shower;
and the swallows they built in the eaves

[stanza 3]
once again when the autumn in glory
spread its gold on the brow of the year;
to that desolate tower so h++ry
i came with foreboding and fear;
and the scythe of the reaper had shone
and the gleaner had gathered the sheaves;
and the flower and its beauty were gone;
and the swallow deserted the eaves
