Forever to Sleep

And if that Western Isle
Is swallowed by the sea,
I'll seek another
Beneath some distant sky.

There I shall master time,
who yet has mastered me
in search for cliffs against the sea
and wind-swept wheat.

There beneath oak's golden shade
and salt breeze
might I lay this ancient longing
forever to sleep.
