nadia cripps and bill white - the Swan and the Clouds

from The Dark Room Act 4 - The Ancient Songs by Bill White

/

lyrics

clouds as white as feathers
above two gliding swans
even now are drifting
to sea, where love has gone

our lake, once placid
as a smile
prosecutes
a lovers' trial
with words,
hateful and harsh.
two sides
of a reedy marsh

they strip away eternal vows
our dreams take flight
like swans in the clouds

and down below, a rupture long and loud
blows ashes high to hide
the swan and the clouds
