Lyrics
The brackish roots of river pine Anchored in my curving spine Bend to the whims of wind's design And I lay down at your side
Above the brine of reds in clay A swollen angel oaks bouquet In the red-winged blackbird's eyes of grey A saltwater tear resides
But the sand and the earthen parapet Silts into this rivulet The bluffs and the banks will soon forget A single tear was cried
And in this spawning ground it blooms The nectar and the petal plumes A purple swallow now exhumed From the river that has died
Palmately spread delphinium Bachelor-buttoned malva comes To be your lilied bride
The crimson of rinoculous Gardenia and dianthus The bloodless ivory water-lotus Sweetly opens wide
But even the most fondly named Rooted and green leaves framed Surely must come to be reclaimed Beyond the great divide
Without a voice left to sing With waterlogged and heavy wing With peaceful eyes unsuffering A pigeon floats in the tide
