Ballad of the Little Square
In the still night
the children sing.
Clear stream,
calm fountain!
THE CHILDREN
What’s in your festive
godly heart?
I
A toll of bells
lost in mist.
THE CHILDREN
Now you leave us singing
on the little square,
clear stream,
calm fountain!
What do you hold
in your springtime hands?
I
A rose of blood
and a white lily.
THE CHILDREN
Wet them in the water
of the ancient song.
Clear stream,
calm fountain!
What’s in your red
and thirsty mouth?
I
The bone-taste
of my great skull.
THE CHILDREN
Drink the calm water
of the ancient song.
Clear stream,
calm fountain!
Why do you stray so far
from the little square?
I
I go in search of sorcerers
and princesses!
THE CHILDREN
Who taught you the way
of the poets?
I
The stream and the fountain
of the ancient song.
THE CHILDREN
Are you going very, very far
from the sea and the earth?
I
My silk heart’s
filled with lights,
lost bells,
lilies and bees,
and I’ll go far,
further than these mountains,
further than the seas,
close to the stars
and I’ll say to Christ,
Lord, give me back
the child’s soul I once had,
steeped in legends,
with the feathered cap
and the wooden sabre.
THE CHILDREN
And now you leave us singing
on the little square,
clear stream,
calm fountain!
Huge pupils
of dried-out fronds,
wounded by the wind,
weep for dead leaves.
