OH LILLIED LIGHT WHEN WILL YOU LIGHT

 

OH LILLIED LIGHT WHEN WILL YOU LIGHT

Oh lillied light when will you light

On my small planet’s darkening rim

And when you sing oh will you bring

The days that hum with the honied hives

And will you sing that I might joy

In music heard when all has cloyed

When all has cloyed and gone astray

My sheepfold at the break of day

Are wandering the wild galaxies

And will not come home.
