SONGFROM “FLESH: A GEOGORIAN ODE”Ebb on with me across the sunset tideAnd float beyond the waters of the world,The light of evening slipping from my side,Thy softened voice in waves of silence furled.Flow on into the flaming morning wine,Drowning the land in color. Then on highRise in thy candid innocence and shineLike to a poplar straight against the sky.EDWARD J. O’BRIEN
Ebb on with me across the sunset tideAnd float beyond the waters of the world,The light of evening slipping from my side,Thy softened voice in waves of silence furled.Flow on into the flaming morning wine,Drowning the land in color. Then on highRise in thy candid innocence and shineLike to a poplar straight against the sky.
