Before I got into my cellB
I had to strip my body bareC
I heard an ominous voice say WellB
Guillaume what are you doing hereD
-
Lazarus steps into the groundE
Not out of it as he was bidF
Adieu Adieu O singing roundE
Of years and girls the life I ledG

I'm no longer myself in hereD
I knowH
I'm number fifteen in the eleventhI

The sunlight filters downward throughJ
The panesK
And on these lines bright clowns alightL
Like stainsK
-
They dance under my eyes while myA
Ears followH
The feet of one whose feet aboveM
Sound hollowH

In a bear pit like a bearC
Every morning round I trampN
Round and round and round and roundE
The sky is like an iron clampN
In a bear pit like a bearC
Every morning round I trampN
-
In the next cell at the sinkO
Someone lets the water runP
With his bunch of keys that clinkO
Let the goaler go and comeQ
In the next cell at the sinkO
Someone lets the water runP

How bored I am between bare wall and wallR
Whose colour pales and pinesS
A fly on the paper with extremely smallR
Steps runs across these linesS
-
What will become of me O God Who knowH
My pain Who gave it meT
Have pity on my dry eyes and my pallorC
My chair which creaks and is not freeC
-
And all these poor hearts beating in this prisonP
And Love beside me seatedU
Pity above all my unstable reasonP
And this despair which threatens to defeat itV

How long these hours take to goH
As long as a whole funeralW
-
You'll mourn the time you mourned you knowH
It will be gone too soon like allR
Time pastX
too fast too long agoH

-
I hear the noises of the cityC
In the turning world beyond meC
I see a sky which has no pityC
And bare prison walls around meC
-
The daylight disappears and nowY
A lamp is lit within the prisonP
We're all alone here in my cellB
Beautiful light Beloved reasonP
