In After Years

VE is dying
Why then, let it die
Trample it down, that it die more fast
What is a rose that has lost its bloom
The air is full of after-thunder freshness,
And everything rejoices and revives
With the whole outburst of its purple

I sheltered with the people in a time of uproar And then I joined in their rebellion
That's how I passed my time that was given to me on this Earth
I ate my dinne...
The storm hath passed; I hear the birds rejoice; the hen, Returned into the road again, Her cheerful notes repeats
The sky serene Is, in the west, upon the mountain seen: The country smiles; bright runs the silver stream
