The Defeat

The sun stole away,

Passing into oblivion

Placing a final kiss

Upon Earth’s parted lips.

For once, Nature gaped

To behold the splendid mystic.

O Earth you blushed!

And twinkled your eyes

While Sun clothed in majesty

Gazed at you with eyes

Hazy with drunken love.

You quivered like a leaf

And reddened under

His drunken caress.

Now you rest lone

With none to caress

Your withered body

The noble hero’s fled

And Dusk has arrived

To replace your hero.

He envelops you in darkness

And exploits your tender parts.

Grief vanquishes your beauty

If you heavenly body

Could admit despair

To rule upon your heart

Why not I, O Earth?

If you, who mothered me

Could be vanquished so

Why not I lose heart

When despair fills me?
