The Poet's dead a slave to honor	A
He fell by rumor slandered	B
Lead in his breast and thirsting for revenge	C
Hanging his proud head	D
The Poet's soul could not endure	E
Petty insult's disgrace	F
Against society he rose	G
Alone as always and was slain	H
Slain What use is weeping now	I
The futile chorus of empty praise	J
Excuses mumbled full of pathos	K
Fate has pronounced its sentence	L
Was it not you who spitefully	M
Rebuffed his free courageous gift	N
And for your own amusement fanned	O
The nearly dying flame	P
Well now enjoy yourselves he couldn't	Q
Endure the final torture	A
Quenched is the marvelous light of genius	R
Withered is the triumphal wreath	S
	-
Cold bloodedly his murderer	A
Took aim there was no chance of flight	T
His empty heart beat evenly	M
The pistol steady in his hand	O
No wonder from far away	U
The will of fate sent him to us	R
Like hundreds of his fellow vagrants	V
In search of luck and rank	W
With impudence he mocked and scorned	X
The tongue and mores of this strange land	O
He could not spare our glory	M
Nor in that bloody moment know	Y
quot gainst what he'd raised his hand	O
	-
He's slain and taken by the grave	Z
Like that unknown but happy bard	A2
Victim of jealousy wild	B2
Of whom he sang with wondrous power	A
Struck down like him by an unyielding hand	O
	-
Why did he quit the blissful peace of simple fellowship	C2
To enter this society so envious and stifling	D2
To hearts of free and fiery passion	E2
Why did he give his hand to worthless slanderers	V
How could he have believed their hollow words	V
And kindness he who'd ever understood his fellow man	F2
	-
And they removed his wreath and set upon his head	D
A crown of thorns entwined in laurel	M
The hidden spines were cruel	M
And pierced his noble brow	I
Poisoned were his final moments	V
By sly insinuations of mockers ignorant	Q
And thus he died for vengeance vainly thirsting	D2
Secretly vexed by false hopes deceived	G2
The wondrous singing's ceased	H2
T'will never sound again	I2
His refuge gloomy and small	M
His lips forever sealed	J2
	-
	-
And you the offspring arrogant	Q
Of fathers known for malice	V
Crushing with slavish heels the ruins	V
Of clans aggrieved by fortune's game	P
You greedy hordes around the throne	K2
Killers of Freedom Genius and Glory	M
You hide beneath the canopy of law	M
Fall silent truth and justice before you	L2
But justice also comes from God corruption's friends	V
The judge most terrible awaits you	L2
He's hardened to the clink of gold	M2
He knows your future thoughts and deeds	V
Then will you turn in vain to lies	V
They will no longer help	N2
And your black blood won't wash away	U
The poet's sacred blood	O2
