Une Ballade De L'est.(Translation) .
Je parle de l'amour qui vient al'esprit:
La lune est fidele, bien qu'aveugle;
Elle bouge en pensee dont elle ne peut parler.
Le soin parfait l'a rendue desolee.
Je n'ai jamais reve de la mer si profonde,
La terre si noire; mon sommeil tellement long,
Je suis devenu un autre enfant.
Je me reveille voir le monde se dechainer.
-' An Eastern Ballad'. Allen Ginsberg(1926-1997) .
Love comes to his mind at night, when the faithful moon moves in thought of which she cannot speak.
An American, Ginsberg is now in the East, where the sea seems deeper, the earth darker, and he sleeps longer. He awakes to feel like another child, and the unfamiliar Eastern world goes wild.
A hugely successful ballad, in my opinion. World travellers would identify with 'An Eastern Ballad'.
The rhyme scheme of the stanzas is: aabb/ bbaa.

Watching the world which goes wild is amazing and waking up having perception of its give new learning. This poem is wonderful with perfect translation...10
