The Donkey Lyrics by Richard Hageman

0

When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born
With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings
The devil's walking parody
On all four-footed things
The tattered outlaw of the earth
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb
I keep my secret still
Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears
And palms before my feet
