I Had A Dove

"Coastal Isle"

Down by the birds on coastal isle
the perfume of mist on salty waves
sinking amber floors between my toes

The smell of mint, skybeaks frequent rocks
of white in the dark, ambient night

Everything is in a shadow mime
and I, a lonesome ghost

I haunt the scenes of picnic greens;
butterflies once nestled in my hair
a tangled mane, I unfold with you

In silence we lay on amber shores
beside the mint-green tide
while the waves rolled by and by
my heart ached like a heavy rope—

Down by the birds on coastal isle
mint green waves on salty shores
amber floors sink underfoot

Water makes dreamers of us all.

Lith K - More Than (Southmind Edit)

I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.

You have been mine before,—
How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow's soar
Your neck turn'd so,
Some veil did fall,—I knew it all of yore.

Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time's eddying flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite,
And day and night yield one delight once more?

Sudden Light

Into my heart an air that kills 
From yon far country blows: 
What are those blue remembered hills, 
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content, 
I see it shining plain, 
The happy highways where I went 
And cannot come again.

In 1892, on the strength of twenty-five articles that he had contributed to classical journals over the years, Housman was elected Professor of Latin at University College London. After an intense bout of writing poetry in the spring of 1895, his first book of poems was published in the following year. It was titled A Shropshire Lad and has never been out of print. The 63 poems convey his feelings on the beauty of nature, the brevity of life, the fragility of love, the certainty of death. Many of the poems are set in a half-imaginary Shropshire, what he called ‘the land of lost content’.

One of the most characteristic poems in A Shropshire Lad – and also one of the most popular – is number XL with its many monosyllables, its four-line stanzas, its melancholy mood, its nostalgic yearning, its pastoral scenery, its melodious rhymes and rhythms.

In 1911 Housman secured the coveted post of Professor of Latin at Cambridge University and was elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College. This is where he lived and worked for the next twenty-five years. In 1922 a long-awaited second volume of verse, titled Last Poems, was published to much acclaim.

Skyrim (Theme - Cover)

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

This the English adaptation of a wise saying from the Persian poet Rumi. I have pasted a printout of this in my room's wall. I look up and recite this whenever I find myself getting anxious about something. It appeases me.

For the best experience, 
-  Click on the song's picture for words and notes.
-  in Album/Playlist/Spotlight, first click on the big picture to the left, then on the new page click the track title. Really, it's worth the effort :) 

With Blake you will see his painting too. Each picture is in dialogue with the words (not just illustrating them).

Bards have combined music & poetry from earliest times. Many poets continue the connection, not least William Blake. But often their melodies are lost or neglected.
