Lucia's  Pony

the Song of Amergin

I am a stag: of seven tines,
I am a flood: across a plain,
I am a wind: on a deep lake,
I am a tear: the sun lets fall,
I am a hawk: above the cliff,
I am a thorn: beneath the nail,
I am a wonder: among flowers,
I am a wizard: who but I
Sets the cool head aflame with smoke?

I am a spear: that roars for blood,
I am a salmon
: in a pool,
I am a lure
: from paradise,
I am a hill:
where poets walk,
I am a boar:
ruthless and red,
I am a breaker
: threatening doom,
I am a tide:
that drags to death,
I am an infant
: who but I
Peeps from the unhewn dolmen arch?

I am the womb: of every holt,
I am the blaze
: on every hill,
I am the queen
: of every hire,
I am the shield
: for every head,
I am the tomb:
of every hope
