lyrics by Kathleen Raine

Because I see these mountains they are brought low,
Because I drink these waters they are bitter,
Because I tread these black rocks they are barren,
Because I have found these islands they are lost;
Upon seal and seabird dreaming their innocent world
My shadow has fallen.

[The lyrics “Isle of Canna, ease my sorrow; Isle of Canna, heal my pain” were added by the composer for musical reasons and are not part of the original poem.]
