I can triumphant & stand
Would I were a swift or a skylark be
My anger was my folded arms
Would my service lead me
To light & glory untold
To light & glory unbound
Or would my service lead me
To lying in the ground
Kiss your lover when the gorse is in flower
& heed ye not the ice nor the rain
& beat upon a drum
When old Goliath comes
& heed ye not his fighting tongue
Fear of a dark winter
& of temperance too
I hear crying
I hear moaning
Death bells ringing
In my ears
Beloved of intoxicants
Horses do not wake me
