Literature Text

On the country road the old oak tree
Will teach me lessons on eternity
By congregating with the sky and me,
Repeating always ‘solidarity.’

For always windswept aggregated leaves
Will unify as one their humble strength,
Cry down the wind and winter cold as thieves,
Disparage what divides their age and length.

So as a withered leaf consumed by wind
Whom the impenetrable nights will send
From what is known into the deep unknown,

I’m heavy with eternity, the strong
Swift breath of time; though in my voice a song
Of solidarity proves I’m not alone.
