All across the land echoes a brand new morn
I am reborn in you, I am reborn
A frosted hand in glove, though weather-worn
thaws, graven with signs of how I’ve grown
I am reborn in you, I am reborn
the lake lies golden under winter’s crown
then thaws, graven with signs of how I’ve grown
a mirrored ice-rink glass I dance upon
The lake lies golden under winter’s crown
a honeyed moon blesses the horizon
a mirrored ice-rink glass I dance upon
hand in hand in love, never alone
A honeyed moon blesses the horizon
a frosted hand in glove, though weather-worn
walks hand in hand in love, never alone:
all across the land echoes a brand new morn.

This is what happens when I take a break: I get woken up at dawn by a pantoum. Which is exactly the sort of thing I want to happen when my mind is on holiday 🙂 Sharing with earthweal.
So many wonderful lines to choose from. These lines are lovely:-
“A honeyed moon blesses the horizon
a frosted hand in glove, though weather-worn”

This plays nicely on the paradox of cold winter and warm rebirth, finding joy — even resurrection — in the moment’s embrace (back in the Lake District?) and supping well on it.
There’s gold in them thar hills! Thanks Brendan.
And it is wonderful! One of your best Ingrid.
Aww, thanks Kim – glad you liked it!
