Pierrots
Emerges, on a taut neck,
From a
starched
ruff idem
A beardless face, cold-creamed,
A beanpole: hydrocephalic.

Water is taught by thirst;
Land, by the oceans passed;
Transport, by throe;
Peace, by its battles told;
Love, by
memorial
mould;
Birds, by the snow.

God that made all that goes or stays
And formed this love from afar
Grant me the power to hope one day
I'll see this love of mine afar,
Truly, and in a
pleasant
hour,
So that her chamber and her bower,
Might seem a palace to my eyes.

Troubador Verse |

que vous etes bien dans le beau cimetiere
Vous bourgmestres vous bateliers
Et vous
conseillers
de regence
Vous aussi tziganes sans papiers
La vie vous pourrit dans la panse
La croix vous pousse entre les pieds
Le vent du Rhin ulule avec tous les hiboux
Il eteint les cierges que toujours les enfants rallument
Et les feuilles mortes
Viennent couvrir les morts
Des enfants morts parlent parfois avec leur mere
Et des mortes parfois voudraient bien revenir
Oh!

Hence it is I here invoke the Gods,
that to the end of my life they would grant me a spirit undisturbed, and
discerning in duties human and divine: and hence too I here implore our
citizens and allies, that whenever my
dissolution
comes, they would
with approbation and benevolent testimonies of remembrance, celebrate
my actions and retain the odour of my name.
