A Pitcher Of Summer lyrics

Lyrics
One morning, before the leaves began changing I caught a piece of summer and poured it into a pitcher;
This I placed in the cellar on a shelf collecting dust Autumn, then winter, rose up from the sea, and my Garden was a garden filled with unbroken snow
No flower strained its face to the ice giants' whisper No life coloured the vision of a newborn spring babe My cellar-water dripping into a pail
And I lifted my piece of summer Like a piece of memory or a dream
Like these, caught on film And carried it to the garden floes The wind turning drifting stars to madness
Poured forth gracefully, this ctheric tincture Lifts winter's coat-of-arms with coaxing aromas and electricity Used with vigilance, a pitcher of summer stirs a memory into swooning And bravely, the flowers of the past will stretch their limbs into the sky While snow falls quietly all around
