I have not seen forsythia glow so bright
The flowers exult in yellow on the shed
Even in the dark eve of the light
For many days my mind had been upset
I did not know where I had lost my head
I have not seen forsythia glow so bright
My eyes were focussed where our terrors bite
Without love’s consolations in my bed
Even in the darkening of the light
Barbaric words of humans sin incite
As the Prophets sadly have long said
I have not seen the sun glow quite so bright
The dirty look, the eye so sly, the night
The terror in our dreams, the bloody heads
Here they come, in darkness, in our flight
Come my dearest, take me as I’m read
By words expressed, the dangers have now fled
I have not seen forsythia glow so bright
Now the darkness dances with the light
