On the sign:
THE CHILD ON THE SHORE
Wind, wind, give me back my feather Sea, sea, give me back my ring Death, death, give me back my mother So that she can hear me sing.
Song, song go and tell my daughter Tell her that wear the ring Say I fly upon the feather Fallen from the falcon’s wing.
Berkeley’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.
The current sign features a poem written by the American science fiction writer Ursula Le Guin (1929-2018). Le Guin, who was born in Berkeley, wrote dozens of books and won many awards. She was known as a feminist, which is reflected in many of her books.
