PROLOGUE: August 1914

from Memoria by Scott Howard Eggert

lyrics

From, August, 1914 – John Masefield

How still this quiet cornfield is tonight!
By an intenser glow, the evening falls,
Bringing, not darkness, but a deeper light;
Among the stooks a partridge covey calls.

The windows glitter on the distant hill;
Beyond the hedge the sheep-bells in the fold
Stumble on sudden music and are still;
The forlorn pinewoods droop above the wold.

An endless quiet valley reaches out
Past the blue hills into the evening sky;
Over the stubble, cawing, goes a rout
Of rooks from harvest, flagging as they fly.

So beautiful it is, I never saw
So great a beauty on these English fields
Touched by the twilight’s coming into awe,
Ripe to the soul and rich with summer’s yields.
