Lament for Adonis
I bring you branches and sing scattering branches.
My feet have never turned this way before
My tears are statues in my lighted eyes
My mind is a stone with grief going over it
Like white brook-water in the early year.
I bring you tears and sing scattering tears.
My grief for you is cold and heavy as iron.
Your beauty was a wound in the world's side.
I bring you blood and sing scattering blood.
Μετ.: Γ. Σεφέρης, "Αντιγραφές". Ίκαρος.
I bring you branches and sing scattering branches.
My feet have never turned this way before
My tears are statues in my lighted eyes
My mind is a stone with grief going over it
Like white brook-water in the early year.
I bring you tears and sing scattering tears.
My grief for you is cold and heavy as iron.
Your beauty was a wound in the world's side.
I bring you blood and sing scattering blood.
