Under Milkwood

In the sad blue light, in the deepest shade
Margaret Mary saddles, all our love away
The shallow moonlight sips her milky eyes
And underneath the ground, the mother sends the child
And the rain buries the lonely night
And the rain buries the lonely night
And the rain buries the lonely, lonely august night
Makes a crossing sign, of the Catholic kind
Have the neighbors heard, what our hero enshrines
The shallow moonlight sips her milky eyes
And underneath the flowers, the mother sends the child
And the rain buries the lonely night
And the rain buries the lonely night
And the rain’s very cold, the rain’s very cold, cold out tonight
