Without  love’s consolations in my bed

I have not seen forsythia  glow so bright
The  flowers exult  in yellow on  the shed
Even in the  darkening of the light

For many days my mind has  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 hate 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
