Mirth of Marbrow
Corinne Anne Marbrow has composed The Sleeper’s Den. It possesses a curious Victorian sensiblity. As such it kind of reminds me of I Watched the Heavens by Caroline Clive. See for yourself.
The night-rain falls upon the roof
with scant regard for careless sleepers.
Each heavy beat is muffled mirth
At life beneath these rafters.
But for the sleeper in her den
It's dreams not rain that bind her,
And nature’s mirth, for all it’s worth
Is the element that’s kinder.
