variations to the accompaniment of a cloud
w. s. merwin
 
 
              because i do not hope ever again 
 to pass this way i sing these 
 notes now in silence 
 each in its own time 
 one morning near the end of spring 
 among the invisible unheard stars i sing 
 this one time with the hope that is here 
 in every breath 
 may these notes be heard another morning 
 in another life 
 in another spring together 
 
              because i do not hope ever to pass 
 this way again 
 one morning late in spring 
 in the cold rain above the valley i sing 
 in the old house i came to in my youth 
 on the ridge looking over the river 
 a house that had been left to its own silence 
 for half a century 
 home for bats and swallows and patches 
 of sunlight wandering across the floors 
 under holes in the roof on the day 
 i first saw it 
 and recognized it without knowing it 
 above the same river 
 
              because i do not hope to see again 
 this spring morning with its cloud of light 
 that wakes the blackbird in the trees downhill 
 from the house i came to long ago 
 when i was young and the silence 
 was a summer day 
 that first summer that i would see 
 from these windows 
 i came to see 
 the plum trees flowering on the slope below 
 the snow swirling outside the kitchen 
 i will not see this morning fill 
 with light again along the green field 
 under the walnut trees those silent ancients 
 i reach out to it with words 
 it never hears 
 
              because i do not hope ever to find 
 my way again to the moments of pure 
 single fortune and the unrepeated mistakes 
 that led me here 
 i look back in wonder 
 at how i found you and we came to be here 
 where has it gone 
 never was there one step backward 
 
              although i do not hope to know again 
 what i have known since the beginning 
 not for a moment has it left me 
 i keep looking for what has always been mine 
 searching for it even as i 
 think of leaving it 
my love was always 
 woven with leaving 
 moment by moment leaving 
 the one time
