the top of the flight Of the wide, stairs Through the of my life Do you for me there?
There's a bell in my There's a wide roar Drop a bell the stairs Hear it forevermore
Hear it forevermore
Drop a off of the dock it out in the sea Drowning as a rock; And sounding
There's a light in the Hits system of strings the side while they swing; See the wires, the wires, the
And the In our elbows and us buckle as we couple in endless increase As the admires
And the white dove Made with love, made with with glue, and a glove, and some pliers
Swings a low arc From its perch in the Settle Settle my desire
And the I slept I was swept up in a terrible tremor no longer bereft, how I shook and I couldn't remember
Then the furthermost drove a murthering stake in And cleft me down through my center And I shouldn't say so, but I know it was then, or never

In the of the waves Which are pawing dogs we, pale-faced and grave, As I in my log
Then I hear a from the hull days out to sea And it is the bell!

I wasn't born of a or milked from a thistle at twilight No, I was all and thorns, sprung out fully formed, knock-kneed and upright So: enough of terror We deserve to light And grow lighter and lighter You would have seen me But I not undo that desire
Oh-oh, desire Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh, desire
the top of the flight Of the wide, white the rest of my life Do you for me there
