Don't call me Home...Maa

I am sorry Maa, I can't be home, 

Not for now, not until I have

Drunk the waters of the sea

That bathes the sun bright, 

Until I have known, 

Why the lady blue glues 

The sun to her chest

For a while, 

Before he gilds her, 

And sinks deep a mile.

Until I have winged and perched

On the boughs of the clouds, 

Until I have known why 

The sea ebbs, and

The sand feels proud.

Wandering, roving I will find a way

To the great mount, 

There by the thawed ice, beneath the covert creamy gleam 

I would rinse myself, 

Walk nude on the rude rocks

where the river roars aloud.

Maa, don't call me home.
