Dymer

Dymer is a narrative poem by C. S. Lewis. He worked on this, his most important poem, as early as 1916—when still only 17 years old—and completed it in 1925. Dymer was his second published work; it was published by J. M. Dent in 1926, under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton (the writer's actual first name followed by his mother's maiden name). Lewis thought of himself as writing in the tradition of Homer, Spenser, Milton, Wordsworth, and others. George Sayer's analysis suggests that the book is about the temptation of fantasies, "the fantasies of love, lust, and power." more »

There's a cough in my lungs and coffee in me
And a coffin around my days gone by
Where is my home now?
If I can't find it in a place is it erased?
There's a lump in my chest and I'm trying my best
To ignore this aching for some rest
But where is my heart now
If I feel the warm embrace is it safe?

Don't Be afraid to start a fire
Don't be afraid to gather round
Know it won't burn for you forever
But we can share the flame we found

There's a feild in the fray and feeling weight
And a fear of this wilderness of change
Oh where is the road now?
if I get lost along the way is that okay?
you can't reach after refuge in the places you've known
Just keep opening hands and hearts and homes
Where is the cold now?
If we carry the flame let us not be ashamed

And don't Be afraid to start a fire
Don't be afraid to gather round
Know it won't burn for you forever
But we can share the flame we found
