from Wildwood Flower

Oh I'll dance, I will sing
And my life shall be gay.
I will charm every heart,
In his crown I will sway.[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/wildwood-flower-lyrics-joan-baez.html ]
When I woke from my dreaming,
My idols was clay
All portions of love had all flown away.

Oh he taught me to love him
And promised to love
And to cherish me over
All others above.
How my heart is now wond'ring
No misery can tell.
He's left me no warning,
No words of farewell.

Oh, he taught me to love him
And called me his flower
That was blooming to cheer him
Through life's weary hour.
Oh, I long to see him
And regret the dark hour
He's gone and neglected
This frail wildwood flower.

The Three Birds
The bird of iron, the bird of steel
who slashed the morning clouds
and tried to gouge the stars
out beyond the day
is hiding as if ashamed
in an unreal cave.
The bird of flesh, the bird of feathers
who tunnels through the wind
to reach a moon he saw in a dream
hanging in the branches
falls in tandem with the night
into a maze of brambles.
But the bird that has no body
enchants the warden of the mind
with his stammering aria,
then opens his echoing wings
and rushes away to pacify all space
and only returns immortal.

Bonus Poem:
Song of Yes and No
How tough and paradoxical and worldly we were;
how still in love with the tuneful
and the heartbroken, but that was before
we had any idea what heartbroken was.
Now that I do, as I remember, the music
that swells beneath me is Mozart’s,
those icy cosmic jests, the fixed fates
of lovers who betray and the world that spins forward
mechanically, no matter
what the price, as money itself grinds forward
and leaves the sparrow pulped beneath the taxi tire,
get used to it
and hear meanwhile the soaring soprano
who sings her own sweet “yes”
and will change it in the next line
because Lorenzo Da Ponte always tied the knot
in such a way that the bow, so big and pretty,
might yet slip.
