Like Barley1 Bending
Like barley bending In low fields by the sea, Singing in hard wind Ceaselessly;
Like barley bending And rising again, So would I, unbroken, Rise from pain;
So would I softly, Day long, night long, Change my sorrow Into song.
Oh Day of Fire and Sun
Oh day of fire and sun, Pure as a naked flame, Blue sea, blue sky and dun Sands where he spoke2 my name;
Laughter and hearts so high That the spirit flew off free, Lifting into the sky Diving into the sea;
Oh day of fire and sun Like a crystal burning, Slow days go one by one, But you have no returning.
