Memory Lyrics by Ned Rorem

14 Songs on American Poetry

0

In the slow world of dream
We breathe in unison
The outside dies within
And she knows all I am

She turns, as if to go
Half-bird, half-animal
The wind dies on the hill
Love's all. Love's all I know

A doe drinks by a stream
A doe and its fawn
When I follow after them
The grass changes to stone
