Lyrics
The Honeyed Fruit
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The honeyed fruit they offered dripped forgetfulness.
Those who tasted it fell where they were,
dreaming,
their faces smeared smiling with the sweetness of the end of any desire for home.
I drove them,
weeping,
to their rowing benches and tied them in,
but still they moaned,
straining to look back over their shoulders at the disappearing shore,
like children carried off from their calling mothers.
