Rob us of
Whatever you like,
Deprive us of
Whatever you wish,
...
What sort of hearts your chests contain,
What sort of brains your heads breed,
That you operate upon eyes of the serpents blind,
And you kiss lips of the leprous lions,
...
Springs come and go,
On times in the cycle,
This years again it has come,
But I sense the stench,
...
Blood and bones of fifty bodies,
Laid mixed and mingled,
Legs here arms there
Of men: young and old,
...
The night encroached knocking the door,
And when the bolt unbolted, the sound mixed
...
When I was a kid,
And at noon hungry,
My mother gave me
A bit of bread
...
My winged inner-self
Took me to the world astral
Along with all senses alive,
The world where fates are ordained,
...
Thoughts descend,
They come down
From the world unexplored;
In the forms of waves,
...
Happy, happy New Year,
May it bring thousands
Of good tidings for you
And the world too.
...
Amid the snow clad mountains,
And cold valleys,
I beheld beside the frozen waterfall,
A chilled body of a soldier;
...
