In Rome on the Campo di Fiori	A
Baskets of olives and lemons	B
Cobbles spattered with wine	C
And the wreckage of flowers	D
Vendors cover the trestles	D
With rose pink fish	E
Armfuls of dark grapes	D
Heaped on peach down	F
	-
On this same square	G
They burned Giordano Bruno	H
Henchmen kindled the pyre	I
Close pressed by the mob	J
Before the flames had died	K
The taverns were full again	L
Baskets of olives and lemons	D
Again on the vendors' shoulders	D
	-
I thought of the Campo dei Fiori	A
In Warsaw by the sky carousel	M
One clear spring evening	N
To the strains of a carnival tune	O
The bright melody drowned	P
The salvos from the ghetto wall	Q
And couples were flying	N
High in the cloudless sky	R
	-
At times wind from the burning	N
Would driff dark kites along	S
And riders on the carousel	M
Caught petals in midair	G
That same hot wind	T
Blew open the skirts of the girls	D
And the crowds were laughing	N
On that beautiful Warsaw Sunday	U
	-
Someone will read as moral	V
That the people of Rome or Warsaw	D
Haggle laugh make love	W
As they pass by martyrs' pyres	D
Someone else will read	X
Of the passing of things human	Y
Of the oblivion	Y
Born before the flames have died	K
	-
But that day I thought only	A
Of the loneliness of the dying	N
Of how when Giordano	H
Climbed to his burning	N
There were no words	D
In any human tongue	Z
To be left for mankind	T
Mankind who live on	A2
	-
Already they were back at their wine	C
Or peddled their white starfish	E
Baskets of olives and lemons	D
They had shouldered to the fair	G
And he already distanced	B2
As if centuries had passed	C2
While they paused just a moment	D2
For his flying in the fire	I
	-
Those dying here the lonely	A
Forgotten by the world	E2
Our tongue becomes for them	F2
The language of an ancient planet	G2
Until when all is legend	H2
And many years have passed	C2
On a great Campo di Fiori	A
Rage will kindle at a poet's word	I2
