Maroondah Reservoir
Augie March

To be, a bee, a moth

Four wings spread for the soft last touch, of glory sun

Remembering blood plums and lips and lemons

One hundred different suns

In a hundred different heavens


Spied from a rowboat

Stroke, naught is spoken

Before you know it, the spell is broken

You might wonder where you are


Floating on the reservoir

I have counted the notes

We landed here not many years ago

And it was not a pretty song that we composed


La, la, la, the early bird he knows

You hang from the cherry bough

When you're lichen yourself and leave

The cold, cold scent of stone and mulch


The great stone wall to stave the rush

To think that peace might be too much

Waiting for that giant touch


The lake, the fir-fringed lake

Placid and ample, birded, breezed and dappled

Through the mountain break

Through the mountain break

A moment take, a moment, a moment


You might wonder where you are

Perched up on the reservoir

Adolf in the white hotel

All this time we've been in hell


You might wonder where you are

Perched above the reservoir

Luis of the lake retire


Before they set the lake on fire

Before they set the lake on fire

Before they set the lake on fire
