Song Of Fixed Accord

Rou-cou spoke the dove,
Like the sooth lord of sorrow,
Of sooth love and sorrow,
And a hail-bow, hail-bow,
To this morrow.


She lay upon the roof,

A little wet of wing and woe,
And she rou-ed there,
Softly she piped among the suns
And their ordinary glare,


The sun of five, the sun of six,
Their ordinariness,

And the ordinariness of seven,
Which she accepted,
Like a fixed heaven,


Not sublect to change...
Day's invisible beginner,
The lord of love and of sooth sorrow,
Lay on the roof
And made much within her.
