Alfreda Benge, Robert Wyatt
Two nuns on the sea shore
Stand apart from one another –
Black wood posts
Mesmerised by the sea god
Mesmerised by the sea god
One nun with human failings
And weary legs
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child
A golden stripe appears
On the western horizon –
A golden stripe appears:
A signal from the sea god
That he understands tiredness
One staunch sister
Stays standing
One staunch sister
Stays standing
And the sun sets
And the sun
Sets
