Brushed by the shadows of the dead
The anemone and flower that weeps
The angels the angels in the sky
I've gathered this sprig of heather
The strollers in the plain
My gipsy beau my lover
The gypsy knew in advance
I am bound to the King of the Sign of Autumn
An eagle descends from this sky white with archangels
Mellifluent moon on the lips of the maddened
Autumn ill and adored
The room is free
Our story's noble as its tragic
Love is dead within your arms
In the evening light that's faded
You've not surprised my secret yet
Evening falls and in the garden
You

through the water clear
O my abandoned youth is dead
Admire the vital power
From magic Thrace, O delerium!

Phaedra was
honoured
by Theseus' breath in vain, 445
For myself, I'm prouder, and flee the glory gained
From homage offered to hundreds, and so easily,
From entering a heart thrown open to so many.

Could have such joy anew,
As I felt, and feel all through,
For all else but this is vain.

scant
With but a single star,
That often as a cloud it met
Blew out itself for fear.

Beowulf, translated by Francis Gummere |

When all the Jews go home to Syria,
When Chinese cooks go back to Canton, China,
When Japanese photographers return
With their black cameras to Tokio,
And Irish patriots to Donegal,
And Scotch
accountants
back to Edinburgh,
You will go back to India, whence you came.
