Franz Werfel Face Poems
- 1. Dead Friend Of My Youth
Now when you come all that way to meet me
From the country house of your death,
I know that you would remove your hat
To greet someone already old to you.
... - 2. The Ram
(An interpretation of a Jewish face)
You've inherited the great ram's features,
The black-wooled one that bred with Jacob's herds.
... - 3. The Faithful One
So many play with you,
You play with the many,
But you never see me
There in the background,
...
