When the light is hard to see

 

In the lighttime, the wave is broken

in the seashine. That wave is broken

on the shoreline, looking out

when the light is hard to see

when the light is hardly seen.

 

At the snowline, the air is hidden

by the fjordpine. That air is hidden

by the clothmine, where skies are dyed

when the light is hard to see

when the light is hardly seen.

 

In our workbrine, the loom is bare

in our booksigns, the loom is bare

in my dreamshrine, the net is empty

when the light is hard to see

when the light is hardly seen.

 

At the incline, the snow is shaking

In my whitewine, the world is shaking

In the coalmine, the Earth is shaken

When the light is hard to see

When the light is hardly seen.

 

From the divine, the ice comes down

On my confine, the ice came down

Came to enshrine, at the house of us

When the light is hard to see

Now the light is hardly seen.

 

Then we intertwine and fill our cups

Then we realign and fill my cup

By the drumtime, and warming sup

The light was hardly seen

Where the light has rarely been

Now the light will reconvene

On the moss and fjordic scene

Above roads through velvet green

Summer’s here:

the light is seen.
