Will Barber - This Moment is Forever

The universe is a vast river,
The rain is very cold;
There is no reason to persist:
This moment is forever.

Come, call the Master of Æthers,
Prince of the Air, sovereign;
Summon him if you need reason to go on
Although this moment is forever.

Lady in white walks by the river,
Beckoning me into the future:
Beauty impels me to follow,
Since this moment is forever.


1980
