Nets to Catch the Wind (1921), Wild Peaches
Context: When the world turns completely upside down
You say we’ll emigrate to the Eastern Shore
Aboard a river-boat from Baltimore;
We’ll live among wild peach trees, miles from town,
You’ll wear a coonskin cap, and I a gown
Homespun, dyed butternut’s dark gold color.
Lost, like your lotus-eating ancestor,
We’ll swim in milk and honey till we drown.
“Lift the world up by your levity,
Rock, love, carry it away, turn it upside down.”
Sydney Carter

Context: Teach the crippled how to leap,
Throw their crutches on a heap,

Rock, love, carry it away,
Lift the world up by your levity,
Rock, love, carry it away, turn it upside down.
