Bells and Harps
If the
wind should moan and crave
Merry
I go to the churchyard grave
But if
one kite should cry
I'll
light a candle and close my eyes
If two
doves should call
Peace
will swell and burst withal
If
three ships at sea should sink
All
ships' hands the sea shall drink
If
four stars fall from the sky
Heaven's
watchers wonder why
If
five rings on one hand gleam
The
other jealous will poorer seem
If six
days are passed in rain
The
seventh sees the sun again
If
seven days touch the sun
Another
week will have begun
If
eight priests bless the way
In
hallow joy we'll sing a lay
If
nine swords are raised on high
'Tis a
sign for you and I
If ten
bells should ring
The
lizard's dead, long live the King
If
eleven harps by air are brushed
Then
in the wind our fears shall crush
For in
those airs of circles spoken
We
touch life's dreams in passing token
"Mount of Five Treasures (Two Worlds)" Nicholas Roerich |
