2 December: The Long-Playing Earth
The Long-Playing Earth\n\nThe stylus of the night / Is swinging round the long-playing Earth\nAnd music and lamplight / Spring up wherever it falls\nStylus of darkness / Stylus of the stars\nWhere will you fall?\n\nThe clouds will be my covers / Colder than a stolen throne\nAnd the dagger moon will watch me / Until the day returns\nStylus of darkness / Stylus of the stars\nWhere will you fall?\n\nAnd when the day returns I take my hand from off my eyes and watch the eastern windows\nBut the passage of the night has left everything unchanged\nStylus of darkness / Stylus of the stars\nWhere will you fall?
