Sing me an old-age lullaby that soothes Each age-old plaint of a bewildered heart. Vision me a melody that lingers Easy in the hallways east of dreams, Naked once again to passion singers Touch with the precision of their art, Yearning neither joy nor pain removes. From Brighton Head the dark ship moves Offshore to wait its part. Unbind the moon, O pale-eyed singers! Regard what the hour redeems. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
