Abercrombie - Georgian Poetry 1920-22 |

Better life the Scythians lead,
Trailing
on waggon wheels their wandering home,
Or the hardy Getan breed,
As o'er their vast unmeasured steppes they roam;
Free the crops that bless their soil;
Their tillage wearies after one year's space;
Each in turn fulfils his toil;
His period o'er, another takes his place.

The everlasting fiery goals,
Devised by rogues, dreaded by fools,
With his grim grisly dog that keeps the door,
Are
senseless
stories, idle tales,
Dreams, whimsies and no more.
