an older undertaking

[fledgist]

what winds come out of the restraining sea
mark every face with a new healthy sign
this should now be the end of all decline

there are new leaves on the starapple tree
and orange fruit on the encircling vine
what winds come out of the restraining sea

a child learns this upon each mother's knee
that all the meanings on the hill entwine
and not all anger should turn out malign
what winds come out of the restraining sea
