Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Do not guard this as rich stuff without mark
Closed in a cedar dark
Nor lay it down with tragic masks and griefs
Licked by the tongues of leaves
Nor let it be as eggs under the wings
Of helpless startled things
Nor encompassed by song for any glory
Perverse and transitory
Rather like shards and straw upon coarse ground
Of little worth when found
Gravel in gardens lit and stones alike
That any spade may strike
Closed in a cedar dark
Helpless startled things
ย
Of little worth when found
