The song below is based on E. E. Cummings' poem "When God Lets My Body Be." The poem is below on the left. The lyrics to the song based on the poem are below on the right.
| Here is the poem by Cummings: when god lets my body be from each brave eye shall sprout a tree fruit that dangles therefrom the purpled world will dance upon between my lips which did sing a rose shall beget the spring that maidens whom passion wastes will lay between their little breasts my strong fingers beneath the snow into strenuous birds shall go my love walking in the grass their wings will touch with her face and all the while shall my heart be with the bulge and nuzzle of the sea | Here is how I changed the poem to create the lyrics: When god lets my body be When god lets my body be From each brave eye shall sprout, shall sprout a tree When god lets my body be When god lets my body be A rose shall beget the spring That maidens whom passion wastes Will lay between their breasts When god lets my body be Lets my body be When god lets my body be My strong fingers beneath the snow Into strenuous birds shall go My love walking in the grass Their wings will touch with her face Touch with her face When god lets my body be When god lets my body be My heart shall be Forever with the sea When god lets my body be Lets my body be When god lets my body be. |
