Our Man in Europe/Belize, Dave Delacroix (Lord Borgo!): "It's a High Wind to Jamaica!" (A Carribean Canzone.):
(dedicato: Rosa A & her cool Daughters)
IT'S A HIGH WIND TO JAMAICA upon my lonely hour? Where has she gone - to the Islands-Cayes, my Babee ALL so young & gay?
It's a high wind that takes her all away from me, a Princess of her Life & Youth, a soulful divinity; it's a high wind, a night-drum in these TROPICS, a careless fancy-free; her Life's her own, my Love forlorn, that Lady don't miss Me?
MOMMA NATURE, come embrace my beachfront fire, a JUMBAI-Ju-Ju spell, for desire? Alone I pine, a soliloquy, a sad song in Paradise, that high wind took from me.
It's a high wind to Jamaica, the palm tree fronds all sway, in the breath of an evening, whisper as if to say.
It's a high wind to Jamaica, the breeze it leaves behind, this beach my desolation, my Love she left to die..as a drum, a fife, echoes long-shore, alone as always, we yearn for more, but for a high wind to Jamaica, some lonesome Man upon the shore.
