From The Shadow of Sirius, by W. S. Merwin
FROM THE START
"Who did I think was listening
when I wrote down the words
in pencil at the beginning
words for singing
to music I did not know
and people I did not know
would read them and stand to sing them
already knowing them
while they sing they have no names"
