Thorns tickle my throat Come The cranes that feed their Children;           My son’s already inventing. The night’s my only staple Come The stars that sing for Others;           I list in endless insomnia. Slowly glowed the river Come The golden sorts of Dreams;           I leave them for my progeny           And surrender to what I’d sworn.

The First Child
Thorns tickle my throat Come The cranes that feed their Children;           My son’s already inventing. The night’s my only staple Come The stars that sing for Others;           I list in endless insomnia. Slowly glowed the river Come The golden sorts of Dreams;           I leave them for my progeny           And surrender to what I’d sworn.
They'd become my everything, they'd 'ever be my everything.
