Juy Les

I saw a corpse left on a cold hard slab,
And saw that someone had arranged it
So it was smiling peacefully,
As if at a sublime beauty.
...

The Devil took a nap one day,
And excused himself of worldly matters.
And when he woke, he found, to his dismay,
A world of peace and thinkers.

The veins of my country,
The sprawling crossroads
Of pipes in the earth

A slave turned to his master
And declared,
'You do not exist!

With his career in mind, one lived to work,
And spent all his days as a bitter clerk.

In a lonely place,
With nothing to do,
And a barren wasteland yonder,
I turned to the Girl I had
