Loss of Innocence; Love; Obsession; Desperation
From Hozier “From Eden”
[As with the poetry of Yeats, this should be spoken aloud or sung, so that the shape of the words can be felt and the artistry appreciated.]
To the strand,
a picnic planned
for you and me
A rope in hand
for your other man
to hang from a tree
Honey, you’re familiar
like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison,
Chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming
Honey, ask me
I should know
I slithered here from Eden
just to sit outside your door
