All Is Safe . . .
Flow, water, the blue water
Little birds of foam
Singing on thee
O flow, water, blue water
Little stars falling asleep
To thy tossing
O flow, water, the blue water
What matters any sorrow
It is lost in thee
Little times, little men
What matters
They are safe in thee
O
Flow, water, blue water
All is safe in thee
Little birds
The shadows of maidens
Safe in thy singing

Let Us Have Madness
Let us have madness openly.
0 men Of my generation.
Let us follow
The footsteps of this slaughtered age:
See it trail across Time’s dim land
Into the closed house of eternity
With the noise that dying has,
With the face that dead things wear–
nor ever say
We wanted more; we looked to find
An open door, an utter deed of love,
Transforming day’s evil darkness;
but We found extended hell and fog Upon the earth,
and within the head
A rotting bog of lean huge graves.
