Based upon an excerpt from Wordsworth’s “The Prelude”, where Wordsworth describes stealing a boat
One summer evening (led by her) I found
A little boat tied to a willow tree
Within a rocky cave, its usual home.

A summer night
I find a boat
Tied to a tree
A normal home
She lost her string
And stepping in
I push the shore there
An act of stealth
A troubled glad without a voice
A mountain song, the boat moves on
The water runs on either side
The circle swell, a sudden light
Takes me
[x2 alone, then throughout]
Takes me
Takes me
Takes me
Takes me
I fix my view
Upon the ridge
Horizon's eye
Above the gray sky
I tip my oar to raise the stroke
The wading swan, the image broke
A looming peak, a pirate size
Uprears its head a sudden guise
Takes me
