[00:06.75]And then when then I die
[00:09.54]I feel I shall say
[00:13.77]I have not understood
[00:19.98]I have not understood any of this
[00:25.53]My eyes are still coaldark
[00:28.53]I have not understood
[00:36.96]Around and in my eyes the tiny flecks
[00:41.73]Of swirling crippled confused lights
[00:46.89]And to my heart I will whisper
[00:50.46]Softly quietly
[00:53.13]"There is no death there is no death"
[00:58.26](And goodbye to you all)
[01:10.86]Under the gorgon grinned arches
[01:13.50]Of London's great vaults
[01:16.89]I have not understood
[01:23.79]Under the sunpuckered roofs of Kathmandu
[01:26.64]I have not understood
[01:30.63]Along the soulstoned streets
[01:33.03]Of Lower
[01:33.78]And of Higher Germanie
[01:35.76]I have not understood
[01:38.76]Leipzig: blackeyed pain and loss: she
[01:43.68]I have not understood
[01:50.88]In Clare near I
[01:52.68]The empty lakes are open in the distance
[01:57.27]And too close is the faminereatchingroad
[02:00.45]All these are ghosts
[02:08.13]There I have not understood
[02:15.00](In the Heart of the Wood
[02:17.34]Oh there have I understood)
[02:22.32]I rested at the temple of Great Black Time - Her
[02:26.10]And did not understand
[02:31.80]Though animalbled fleshmarbled rivers ran in Her honour
[02:37.11]His buckled body in blood
[02:41.16]Returns to the prebirth poise
[02:44.28]Spreadeagled like starfish -
[02:57.39]There in His eyes:
[02:57.69]Incomprehension mute pain disbelief what
[03:03.03]Blood there meant sorrow trickles there
[03:11.76]This I could not understand
[03:14.58]I bend the pages of yet another book
[03:18.81]And in its lines Great Black Lines
[03:27.69]I have not understood
[03:31.23]Please gramerey pray for me
[03:35.85]And oh goodbye sweetestheart
[03:39.09]The wind roars in the nearness
[03:44.04]And there in my heart
[03:52.80]And all the clouds are spiralling towards us
[03:56.10]Descent indeed to the centre of it all
[04:00.33]Skipping lightly and lying truly
[04:03.81]This we shall understand
[04:07.53]I hope...
[04:17.10]Wet bent humped trees
[04:19.26]The great ones - there
[04:20.82]On the lapped shore
[04:22.71]Dai Ichi
[04:25.02]There also I do not know
[04:28.41]This is all unknowable
[04:31.11]And as the dust covers
[04:32.46]My empty eyes
[04:34.83]You shall read in these foolish gapes
[04:37.65]Oh that I have not understood
[04:43.05](But if you look for the stag and the cross conjoined
[04:48.51]There on my arm look there
[04:51.15]There I have understood very well)
[04:58.11]Now you are all fading
[05:01.14]All fading
[05:03.75]As my age creeps on
[05:07.26]As This Age stumbles on
[05:11.76]Fires in the earth
[05:14.55]Fires in the sky
[05:16.59]Fires in our hearts
[05:19.86]Fires everywhere
[05:22.80]The black eyes
[05:24.33]Already blacken
[05:27.48]And this I have not understood
[05:29.61]Not peace
[05:30.57]But a sword
[05:32.04]This and He
[05:34.05]Unfortunately
[05:39.57]I have understood
[05:55.77]Under the bowered greenwood tree
[05:58.44]When first I lay
[06:00.15]Bright starre with Thee
[06:03.48]Under the velvet branches dear
[06:05.82]When sun and moon both came so near
[06:10.65]Under the starlit open dome
[06:13.74]Under the starsharp pointed lights
[06:16.32]Under the starloved greeny earth
[06:20.19]When first I wanted to hold You
[06:23.37]And all the world halfdead and halflive
[06:26.58]Spat into my mouth
[06:27.90]Bluesea bitterwater
[06:28.38]And I am almost dead
[06:39.48]And I have not understood
[06:46.47]Under the rain and teeth of gods
[06:50.28]Under the pain and sleeping liddy eyes
[06:54.81]Under the brokkd wetful heaven
[06:58.80]If you are there
[07:01.74]If you are there
[07:04.68]If you are there
[07:07.56]Then I am singing with my eyes
[07:22.77]If you are there
