Louis MacNeice "The sunlight on the garden" Poem Animation
Here is a virtual movie of Louis MacNeice reading his very touching poem "The sunlight in the garden"
"One of MacNeive's saddest and most beautiful lyics. [MacNeice] once said
that if forced to choose between sound and sense he would have a slight
preference for [sound]. In this poem the sense seems to be conveyed
_through_ the music. The rhyme scheme ... has the effect of dovetailing the
lines together and producing a constant sense of echo emphasising the
lingering, fading quality of the joys of life which the poem is talking
about."
-- George Macbeth, Poetry 1900 to 1975 (Longman)

The Sunlight on the Garden
The sunlight on the garden
Hardens and grows cold,
We cannot cage the minute
Within its nets of gold;
When all is told
We cannot beg for pardon.
Our freedom as free lances
Advances towards its end;
The earth compels, upon it
Sonnets and birds descend;
And soon, my friend,
We shall have no time for dances.
The sky was good for flying
Defying the church bells
And every evil iron
Siren and what it tells:
The earth compels,
We are dying, Egypt, dying
And not expecting pardon,
Hardened in heart anew,
But glad to have sat under
Thunder and rain with you,
And grateful too
For sunlight on the garden.
