Pastoral I'm weary and spent and long to rest In the grass by an age old tree... Where a waiting breeze sings of tender things, Lilting and swift and free! Ah, there would I lie, serene and calm, And watch the branches sway... And never give heed to a hungering need For a love that has passed away! There would I find my soul again, There would I know release... And there would I stay for a long long day In infinite rest and peace! And no one would know how I came to roam, Nor where I chanced to be... Save the tall green grass and the breeze that passed, And an ancient, twisted tree! |

a very serene and tranquil poem, wonderful written. "In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor" Joy division |
