All That Remains

All that remains of the wind and the rain

Are the wind and the rain

And the harrow and the plain

And the lives lived and the lives lost and the lives dreamt

And the lilies placed on the grave


All that remains of the town and the street

Are the town and the street

And the wind and the rain

And the schoolyards and the churchgrounds 

And the names carved in the tree on the churchground


All the remains of the tales and the songs

Are the tales and the songs

And the telling and the singing 

And the longing that was passed into the bells

The wind is ringing
