Echoes from a sad soul - 6

Please tell me Lord, for you know it

Tell me Lord, because You know,

if still are living our fathers

and where lie their spirits?

Where are the loves and the sighs

The bright ideas

The shaking power

of the nations in the world?

And where are the pleasures of flesh

And the wealth of the globe?

Where the ancient, human wisdom

boundless and eternal?

Where is now that mother

who tender spent herself

on her children?

And that strong father

Who seemed omnipotent?


Where are those games away,

Where age carefree

And the long-awaited youth dreams?

It cannot finish all

During our short life

And all disappear into Nothingness!
