Schubert Drinks The Tears Of The Hapless Woman Poem by Raj Arumugam
Schubert Drinks The Tears Of The Hapless Woman
Schubert, torch-bearer at Beethoven’s funeral,
pursuer of music and of his own sorrow;
Franz Schubert drank
the tears of the hapless woman
even from the very cup of her white hands
and his body wasted away;
alas, his life and years wasted away;
like the charmed knight
eaten by Keats’ La Belle Dame sans Merci,
Schubert too was eaten away…
and so Schubert came to understand his music
and his sorrow
