- | |
Still far the asphodels | B |
grey transparent Spring | C |
Meanwhile the sand rustles | B |
the wave foams | B |
But here like Persephone | D |
my soul joins the gentle circle | E |
and in the realm of the dead | F |
there were no seductive sunburnt arms | B |
- | |
- | |
- | |
Why do we trust the boat | G |
with the heaviness of the funerary urn | D |
and conclude the festival of black roses | B |
over amethystine water | H |
My soul rushes there | I |
to the cloudy cape of Meganom | J |
and from there the black sail will return | D |
after the funeral | E |
- | |
- | |
- | |
How quickly clouds rush by | K |
in a sunless row and | L |
flakes of black roses drift | M |
under this windy moon | D |
And a bird of death and sobbing | C |
the enormous flag of remembrance | B |
is dragged along the mournful border | H |
behind a cypress stern | D |
- | |
- | |
- | |
The sorrowful fan of past years | B |
unfolds with a rustle | E |
My soul rushes there | I |
to the cloudy cape of Meganom | J |
where with dark trembling | C |
an amulet was buried in the sand | N |
and from there the black sail will return | D |
after the funeral | E |
