SAFETY
Reading edition
You are like a pool reflecting shadowy trees Of green and glint of sunbeams mixed together (And I had forgotten both) in water clear. Full of the foulness of blood and lust and fear Is the past now. I break its holding tether, And stand once more with guiding Innocences. You are like silence in which I can be myself. You are the truth of music: something lost Ages and ages ago, and forgotten, and found. Ere death my feet are set upon holy ground, I, wanderer amid a wandering host, Come home, led by the magic of one sweet elf.
