Mockingbird

I saw the back of the stars
 Tremble and fall
 While seahorses played
 On the slope of your breast
 I saw a hundred angels
 Rush to the ground
 They were giving you garlands
 And giving you crowns
 The flowers are everywhere
 Christ glorious entwined
 The dip of the moon
 And the sun as it shines
 And the roots as they burrow
 And tunnel through Earth
 And the birds as they soar on their wings
 I heard them whisper your name
 And I remember you there
 ♪
 And the turtle doves hiding
 As your eyes roared with light
 And I remember your smile
 So wide and so red
 Whilst the snowflakes covered
 Your hair with their seals
 And I remember our bliss
 As we gazed at the wall
 And I remember you there
 ♪
 I remember you there
 With your mockingbird hair
 Some years ago
 We had sat down and wept
 With the sea in our ears
 And seven cats on our laps
 Whilst the books gathered dust
 Unread and untrue
 And you flicked through the letters
 I could not bear to read
