TWELVE SONGS: 12

TWELVE SONGS: 9. FUNERAL BLUES

AND THE AGE ENDED, AND THE LAST DELIVERER DIED

AT LAST, DOWN IN THE LANE

BECAUSE SAP FELL AWAY

BEHOLD THE MANLY MESOMORTH

BELOW MY TICKNALL LAY BUT IN THE LIGHT

CONSIDER THIS AND IN OUR TIME

DEEMED THIS AN OUTPOST, I

FOR WHAT AS EASY

GIVE ME A DOCTOR PARTRIDGE-PLUMP

GROW THIN BY WALKING AND GO INLAND

I CHOSE THIS LEAN COUNTRY

IF ON ACCOUNT OF THE POLITICAL SITUATION

IT'S NO USE RAISING A SHOUT

LADY, WEEPING AT THE CROSSROADS

LIKE OTHER MEN, WHEN I GO PAST

NO TRENCHANT PARTING THIS

NO, NOT FROM THIS LIFE, NOT FROM THIS LIFE IS ANY

NOR WAS THAT FINAL, FOR ABOUT THAT TIME

NOTHING IS GIVEN: WE MUST FIND OUR LAW

NOW FROM FAR EASTERN WOLDS, THE BAY

OFTEN THE MAN, ALONE SHUT, SHALL CONSIDER

ON SUNDAY WALKS

ON THE FRONTIER AT DAWN GETTING DOWN

OUR HUNTING FATHERS TOLD THE STORY

OUT OF SIGHT ASSUREDLY, NOT OUT OF MIND

SEEN WHEN NIGHTS ARE SILENT

SINCE THE AUTUMN DAY

SING, ARIEL, SING, FR. THE SEA AND THE MIRROR

SO I MUST GO MY WAY

SOME SAY THAT HANDSOME RAIDER STILL AT LARGE:

SUPPOSE THEY MET, THE INEVITABLE PROCEDURE

THAT NIGHT WHEN JOY BEGAN

COLONEL TO BE SHOT AT DAWN

CROCUS STARS THE BORDER

CROWING OF THE COCK

DEW STEAMS OFF THE THATCHES

FOUR SAT ON IN THE BARE ROOM

HOUSES ROLLED INTO THE SUN

MIND TO BODY SPOKE THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH

SPRING UNSETTLES SLEEPING PARTNERSHIPS

SPRING WILL COME

SUMMER QUICKENS GRASS

WEEKS OF BLIZZARD OVER

THERE IS SO MUCH THAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU

THOUGH THY RAFTERS ARE GROWN ROTTEN

TO-NIGHT WHEN A FULL STORM SURROUNDS THE HOUSE

TRULY OUR FATHERS HAD THE GOUT

WANDERING LOST UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF OUR CHOICE

WE TOO HAD KNOWN GOLDEN HOURS

WE, KNOWING THE FAMILY HISTORY

WHENEVER I SEE FOR THE FIRST TIME

BONES WRENCHED, WEAK WHIMPER, LIDS WRINKLED...'
