The Light-Ship Lyrics by Julia Ecklar

0

The full earth stands at our left hands
And the pale moon on the right
All fire and steel, our Catherine wheel
Rolls through the endless night

The sun may burn at full astern
And the powercells drink deep
Both day and night stand in our sight
From waking unto sleep

And we spin long light from the glory of the sun
Yes we spin long light from the glory of the sun
And the light gems glow on the earth below
In the bright web spun by the glory of the sun


The powers run from the brazen sun
Through the web of heavens height
To the opal world — like a clouded pearl —
Strung on a thread of light

And we pace our turn from bow to stern
Through the elven summer field
Where the powercells — like flower bells —
Drink all the sun can yield

As we spin long light from the glory of the sun
Yes we spin long light from the glory of the sun
And the light gems glow on the earth below
In the bright web spun from the glory of the sun


The well paced blips of the factory ships
Slide past our orbit's brink
Like a swarm of bees in the girder trees
Come to our flowers to drink

And the earth is clean as a spring time dream
No factory smokes appear
For they've left the land to the gardener's hand
And they all are circling here

And we spin long light from the glory of the sun
Yes we spin long light from the glory of the sun
And the light gems glow on the earth below
In the bright web spun from the glory of the sun
