Sign On Parnassus Poem by Neil Crawford

Sign On Parnassus



Singing is forbidden on the mountain of Apollo,
Parnassus has been still for ages past.

Or so the sign was written, an injunction we must follow
unless we wish to know Greek civic wrath.

I did not praise the god, I did not try to rouse him,
I did not disturb his ancient sleep,

Yet his pathways I have trod
and my actions have espoused him

as we depart
Parnassus gently weeps.
