I want to take you down the paths.
This labyrinthine garden scares, intimidates,
But no need.
I want to learn well the twisting routes,
Touching the curves at every turn,
And following straight paths to their conclusion.
Now there is a maze centre, I have heard,
That changes, and the hedges too,
For nothing stays the same from day to day;
But I love best the calling out
When we have lost our navigation points,
Sweet voices used to find each other.
Composition:
Set to music by Derek Holman (b. 1931), "Maze", 1994, first performed 1995 [ soprano and piano ], from Ash Roses, no. 2
