Song: Further than Hoy

Further than Hoy

the mermaids whisper

through ivory shells

a-babble with vowels

Further than history

the legends thicken

the buried broken

vases and columns

Further than fame

are fleas and visions,

the hermit's cave

under the mountain

Further than song

the hushed awakening

of country children

the harp unstroked

Further than death

your feet will come

to the forest, black forest

where Love walks, alone.
