fidelity to the living

cerdd arall gan vernon watkins yw

fidelity to the living

tenuous life, i have wronged you. you are the leaves, the sun,
the light, the bird at peace in the sky, though pulled by a
plummet of lead.
out of dark books i accused you. o look at her face: there is spun
a thread of light from her silence: she holds that beautiful thread.

the mother lifts her child to her breast. o what infinite, tender
frailty! she laughs near his eyelids: o, above solomon blest!
the great magnanimous leaves have opened. plucked from their
judgement in splendour,
even now, by the very thread that binds them, they are at rest
