Poem for April

The hills step off into whiteness.
People or stars
Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.

The train leaves a line of breath.
O slow
Horse the colour of rust,

Hooves, dolorous bells ----
All morning the
Morning has been blackening,

A flower left out.
My bones hold a stillness, the far
Fields melt my heart.

They threaten
To let me through to a heaven
Starless and fatherless, a dark water."
-  Sylvia Plath, Sheep in Fog




Previous poems:

Ah, not to be cut off,


not through the slightest partition


shut out from the law of the stars


The inner — what is it?


if not intensified sky,


hurled through with birds and deep


with the winds of homecoming.



from Ahead of All Parting:
The Selected Poetry and Prose
of Rainer Maria Rilke
, Translated by Stephen Mitchell



Poem for May:
Lovely Polly Stewart

TUNE: Ye're welcome Charlie Stewart (You are welcome Charlie Stewart)

Robert Burns

Chorus
O lovely Polly Stewart,
O charming Polly Stewart,
There's ne'er a flower that blooms in May,
That's half so fair as thou art!

1.
The flower it blaws,
it fades, it fa's,
And art can ne'er renew it;
But Worth and Truth eternal youth
Will gie to Polly Stewart!

2.
May he whase arms shall fauld thy charms
Possess a leal and true heart!
To him be given to ken the heaven
He grasps in Polly Stewart!
