Текст песни: News For The Delphic Oracle + перевод

There all the golden codgers lay

There the silver dew

And the great water sighed for love

And the wind sighed too

Man-picker Niamh leant and sighed

By Oisin on the grass;

There sighed amid his choir of love

Tall pythagoras

Plotinus came and looked about

The salt-flakes on his breast

And having stretched and yawned awhile

Lay sighing like the rest

Straddling each a dolphin’s back

And steadied by a fin

Those Innocents re-live their death

Their wounds open again

The ecstatic waters laugh because

Their cries are sweet and strange

Through their ancestral patterns dance

And the brute dolphins plunge

Until, in some cliff-sheltered bay

Where wades the choir of love

Proffering its sacred laurel crowns

They pitch their burdens off

Slim adolescence that a nymph has stripped

Peleus on Thetis stares

Her limbs are delicate as an eyelid

Love has blinded him with tears;

But Thetis' belly listens

Down the mountain walls

From where pan’s cavern is

Intolerable music falls

Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear

Belly, shoulder, bum

Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs

Copulate in the foam
