Here you will find the Poem Turn on your side and bear the day to me of poet George Barker
Turn on your side and bear the day to me Beloved, sceptre-struck, immured In the glass wall of sleep. Slowly Uncloud the borealis of your eye And show your iceberg secrets, your midnight prizes To the green-eyed world and to me. Sin Coils upward into thin air when you awaken And again morning announces amnesty over The serpent-kingdomed bed. Your mother Watched with as dove an eye the unforgivable night Sigh backward into innocence when you Set a bright monument in her amorous sea. Look down, Undine, on the trident that struck Sons from the rock of vanity. Turn in the world Sceptre-struck, spellbound, beloved, Turn in the world and bear the day to me.
