And death shall have no dominion
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
The curtains were half drawn, the floor was swept
And strewn with rushes, rosemary and may
Lay thick upon the bed on which I lay,
Where through the lattice ivy-shadows crept.
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Smoke me like a cigarette
kiss me one more time
before I wisp away
like ash.
She wears a long black gown -
A sign of memory
For people who drown
In reality,
Порожнеча, не зачаївшись ніде, крім глибин затінених душ,
Падає на календар. Вона протікає, мов туш,
Ніби янголи, що летять з небес, проходячи крізь стіни й бійниці,
Порожнеча - сама собі тінь та світло,
