Fall asleep In the morning Listen for the north wind, Listen for the trees Calling thee, Teeth forlorning, Something altar-scorning Buried neath the weeds Ash and aster Round thee scattered, Rabbits rapture, Trappers tattered Alabaster Halifaxer Running faster Grasping from the gloom Still they'll never know you Still they'll never know you Wash your feet In the creekbed Dowerless and heathen But daughter ye are free In the stream Words unreelin' Maps of other seasons Older than the sea Ash and aster Round thee scattered, Rabbits rapture, Trappers tattered Alabaster Halifaxer Running faster Running faster Ash and aster Stags that canter, 'Pon their antlers Lanterns gathered Alabaster Halifaxer Running after your Tomb Still they'll never know you Still they'll never know you
