Clouds Follow Stars
Clouds follow stars
In filmy coverings of flesh
Hope bringing his own content
To harbours steeped in everlasting peace.
Whither fly the sparrow
From your altars buried deep
Conflagrations of incense expand there
Following before to keep your faltering flight
Where will I find
The sum of a sparrow lost
Floating on strings that through
God’s dust will change in pulling her along
Hushed the brave sleep
And there fulfill their frail song
Then will they come to him and fall
Helped in each descending stair to rest in peace
