It's Not With A Lover's Lyre / The Muse Lyrics - The Trackless Woods - Iris Dement

It's not with a lover's lyre, not at all. 

That I go around, attracting a crowd. 

It's the rattle with which lepers crawl 

That in my hands keeps singing aloud. 

 

Where nothing Is needed, I walk like a child, 

My shadow serves as the friend I crave. 

The wind breezes out of a grove gone wild, 

And my foot is on the edge of the grave. 

 

the muse 

 

All that I am hangs by a thread tonight 

as I wait for her whom no one can command 

Whatever I cherish most—youth, freedom, glory- 

fades before her who bears the flute 

in her hand.
