Agalloch
where shade once was
Select language to translate this lyric
Where shade once was, the oak tree in a sprawl
Of death no longer writhing against the wind.
The people say: I
see
now.
It
was
tall.
And here and there slight nests of spring now find
Themselves dependent on a severed height.
The people say: I
see
now.
It
was
kind.
The people praise. The people cut.
Twilight comes and they haul their loads off.
Through mid-air a cry...
A blackcap crying out in flight,
Seeking a nest that is no longer there.
