THIRD SONG

Blythburgh Church


If prelude is a part of progress
Then dark is gentle anchor leasing dawn,
And I have climbed this path,
And I am still
Within church cool, great monument of peace
Of certain strength and epitaphs last ease.

I come in cry
From the discord of a time in tears,
From minds marched in flank to crowds and fears,
Under this high angel outstretched span
I cannot weep, but smooth stones can
And white in wisdom
Stir births blessing back to blood

I feel for heart
And I am still
For what is true
Is bounded beyond will

Grave heads in grass
Tell in soft stone
The beat of heart
Which conquers break of bone

Upon this staggered hill
I stand and wait
Marsh is below
And rivers rise to mate
Wanders from me
And surges on to sea

And I am still
And heart is in some place
