Over Sir John's Hill - Dylan Thomas[00:00:00]
Over Sir John's hill[00:00:09]
The hawk on fire hangs still[00:00:11]
In a hoisted cloud at drop of dusk[00:00:14]
He pulls to his claws[00:00:16]
And gallows up the rays of his eyes[00:00:18]
The small birds of the bay[00:00:21]
And the shrill child's play[00:00:23]
Wars[00:00:25]
Of the sparrows and such who swansing[00:00:26]
Dusk in wrangling hedges[00:00:30]
And blithely they squawk[00:00:34]
To fiery tyburn over the wrestle of elms until[00:00:36]
The flash the noosed hawk[00:00:40]
Crashes and slowly the fishing holy stalking heron[00:00:43]
In the river Towy below bows his tilted headstone[00:00:49]
Flash and the plumes crack[00:00:56]
And a black cap of jack[00:00:59]
Daws Sir John's just hill dons[00:01:00]
And again the gulled birds hare[00:01:03]
To the hawk on fire the halter height over Towy's fins[00:01:07]
In a whack of wind[00:01:12]
There[00:01:15]
Where the elegiac fisherbird stabs and paddles[00:01:16]
In the pebbly dab-filled[00:01:20]
Shallow and sedge and dilly dilly calls the loft hawk[00:01:22]
Come and be killed[00:01:28]
I open the leaves of the water at a passage[00:01:31]
Of psalms and shadows among the pincered sandcrabs prancing[00:01:33]
And read in a shell[00:01:40]
Death clear as a bouy's bell[00:01:42]
All praise of the hawk on fire in hawk-eyed dusk be sung[00:01:46]
When his viperish fuse hangs looped with flames under the brand[00:01:52]
Wing and blest shall[00:01:57]
Young[00:02:00]
Green chickens of the bay and bushes cluck dilly dilly[00:02:00]
Come let us die[00:02:06]
We grieve as the blithe birds[00:02:09]
Never again leave shingle and elm[00:02:11]
The heron and I[00:02:14]
I young Aesop fabling to the near night by the dingle[00:02:17]
Of eels saint heron hymning in the shell-hung distant[00:02:21]
Crystal harbour vale[00:02:28]
Where the sea cobbles sail[00:02:31]
And wharves of water where the walls dance[00:02:34]
And the white cranes stilt[00:02:37]
It is the heron and I under judging Sir John's elmed[00:02:41]
Hill tell-tale the knelled[00:02:45]
Guilt[00:02:48]
Of the led-astray birds whom God for their breast of whistles[00:02:49]
Have Mercy on[00:02:53]
God in his whirlwind save who marks the sparrows hail[00:02:55]
For their souls' song[00:03:02]
Now the heron grieves in the weeded verge[00:03:05]
Through windows[00:03:08]
Of dusk and water I see the tilting whispering[00:03:09]
Heron mirrored go[00:03:13]
As the snapt feathers snow[00:03:16]
Fishing in the tear of the Towy[00:03:19]
Only a hoot owl[00:03:22]
Hollows a grassblade blown in cupped hands[00:03:24]
In the looted elms[00:03:28]
And no green cocks or hens[00:03:31]
Shout[00:03:35]
Now on Sir John's hill[00:03:36]
The heron ankling the scaly[00:03:39]
Lowlands of the waves[00:03:42]
Makes all the music and I who hear the tune of the slow[00:03:43]
Wear-willow river grave[00:03:51]
Before the lunge of the night the notes on this time-shaken[00:03:54]
Stone for the sake of the souls of the slain birds sailing[00:04:01]
