THOU ART THE REASON WHEREFORE

 

Will 01

 

For the sweetest of all Muses

 

Thou art my morning lark that waketh
My sleepy thoughts with sweetest song;
The morning dew that gently maketh
This weary old heart still beat so long;
Thou art air and the warm sun that giveth
Light and Life, Hope and Love so strong!

Precious Visitor, a brief comment – even just a greeting, added below, or a ‘Like’ – only costs you a very small effort, but will please me GREATLY, on reading it! Thank you.   :O)

(REVERSE) STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are so used to thinking that heaven

should be in a place somewhere high,

and yet Life is so full of surprises, that

we can find anywhere the unexpected.

Thus it was that I found you, one evening,

climbing donwards a spiral staircase!

AUTUMN, COME TOO SOON …

 

This much-too-orange moon,
too large, too bright, too cheeky,
that mocks my every movement,
my moods, my very madness…

This cannot be the moon of your
long walks on unknown beaches,
without even a dog, without us both,
the Baltic’s feathers ruffled by the early
breezes of this autumn come too soon.

Oh, no, this has to be my moon alone,
for it is coloured just like dying leaves,
appropriately enough, because this is
the designated season of farewells,

when everything that’s natural will die,
making – like our scant harvest of love –
space for the hopeful flowers of next year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRECOCE AUTUNNO * Traduzione (un po’ libera)

del poeta Fiore Leveque

 

Ahi, Luna a buccia cotanto ranciata
Tanto larga, brillante, e ’sì sfacciata!

In berlina metti ogni mio movimento
E umor, e… ogni atto mio ’sì da demente!

Non puoi esser quella tu, in vagar, compagna
’si tanto là ove rena il salso bagna,

Senza un can, senza noi due stretti a Un Cuore,
e arruffa piuma in Baltica brezza Amore,

Ed in precoce tal stagione morente.
Eh, no! Solo mia tu sia luna ardente,

’sì colorata a mo’ di morte foglie,
Ed appropriatamente, dove coglie

Stagion designata per ogni addio
Ogni che torna da Natura a Dio:

… qual, ’sì, ora scarso raccolto d’amore,
qui, ove l’anno che verrà sarà in fiore.
