Circles within circles We ride through them all Circles within circles 'In the midst of the Southern regions...' There a man rests and weeps This year, next year Sometimes Never, oh never
If we think then that there is No joy
But listen: On the edge of winds Is the rustling of the greens All many greens, manifold and lovely The sighing and crying of the wind The lovely boughs The lovely light The lovely light The lovely stars, jewelly nobles The pitted star heads of a burning fire Burn far brighter burn brighter - Starry glory golden flamen, lambent - Than any other stars we know The moony wet mouth cradle of blue night The plumed bird, lovely voiced The streaked cat, rooted hair shine Head of fur light Purr of bright sound Lovely and noble, jewelly lords So sparkling, glimmering spitting lights Little houses of fire In little towns of fire Open and shut their fiery sam sheet eyes
