1
Sickened by sun, with rainstorms lashing him rotten
2
A looted wreath crowning his tangled hair
3
Every moment of his youth apart from its dream was forgotten
4
Gone the roof overhead, but the sky was always there
5
Oh you, who are flung out, alike from heaven and from Hades
6
You murderers who've been so bitterly repaid
7
Why did you part from the mothers who nursed you as babies
8
It was peaceful and you slept and there you stayed
9
Still he explores and rakes the absinthe green oceans
10
Though his mother has given him up for lost
11
Grinning and cursing with a few odd tears of contrition
12
Always in search of that land where life seems best
13
Loafing through hells and flocked through paradises
14
Calm and grinning, with a vanishing face
15
At times he still dreams of a small field he recognizes
16
With a blue sky overhead and nothing else
