lyrics

The temple is in ruin on the promontory.
And Death has mingled, in the sallow dust,
Goddesses in marble, Heroes in bronze,
in the desolate grass, that shroud, their glory.

This oxherd walks his animals to water,
out of his conch, old tune, sighing, filling
the quiet sky, out to the sea’s horizon,
against the blue infinite, his dark figure.

The Earth, dear mother to the ancient Gods,
in the spring, with a vain eloquence, greens
that cracked capital with a living leaf;

but we, indifferent to our forebears’ dreams,
listen without a shiver, in the night’s deeps,
to the Ocean mourning, in tears, the Sirens.

Lyric by Larry Beckett
