Lwonesome Tonight

Hark the greening of the eth

Curl-ed ferns yet to uncurl

Hark the zingen of the birds

Gurrel yearns yet to un-girl

Beech and aller, woak and birch,

Biddle, bull-head, squirrel's drey

Willow, aspen, elder, larch,

Soldier-King on Maundy day

In her satchel, Pepsi fizz,

Peanut-and-banana sandwiches

For this man her shepherd is.

Parts her bready

her bready-lips:

Are you Elvis? Are you God?

Jesus sent to win my trust?

Love Me Tender are his words,

As I loved you, so you must...

Thrice she draws her lips to kiss

Mouthing for his mouth in vain

Thrice her lwonesome kisses miss

My love, will you come back again?
