STARLIGHT NIGHT (words by Gerard Manley Hopkins, 1844-89) look at the stars! look, look up at the skies! oh look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air! the bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there! down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves?-eyes! the grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies! wind-beat whitebeam! airy abels set on a flare! flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!? ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize. buy then! bid then!?what??prayer, patience, alms, vows. look, look: a may-mess, like on orchard boughs! look! march-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows! these are indeed the barn; within doors house the shocks. this peace-bright paling shuts the spouse christ home, christ and his mother and all his hallows.		news forum discog.biog lyrics pictures shop contact a.m. (good morning) asleep blues became butterfly c.c. conscious call me cover me dangerous heady love scheme engine heart forgiven not forgotten forsake lotus loveheart lovely daughter lucky adam malcolm many weathers apart mentor moi et mon camion (the eviction song) my name is sad and at sea mystic transformation nightingale vs. the crow (sorrow in the sky) no bells left to chime postcard from a dark star presume too much shun (sad eyed days) silver moon ladders starlight night the first and last waltz the leaving song (long haul) the leaving song (yorkshire traction) the winter song this nihilism verily warm cigarette room
