All the women in my life
They- I cannot deny-
Have shown me love unknown
To men who vainly roam
Their words of dew and sway
Bring rise to dawn and day
Their hymns and fabrics blown
From their sylvan loam
They bear me in their arms
Where sorrow breeds no harm
And turn my mouth to crow
Of harsh and fleeting home
In time and hastened feet
Approaching skin's defeat
I recollect and row
Through times of sky and foam

Bring rise to dawn and day
Their hymns and fabrics blown
From their sylvan loam
They bear me in their arms
Where sorrow breeds no harm
And turn my mouth to crow
Of harsh and fleeting home
In time and hastened feet
Approaching skin's defeat
I recollect and row
Through times of sky and foam
