TO THE CICADA

What a sudden pain of ancient soul, —
A tear that is a voice, a voice- that is a tear !
What unforgotten tragedy thou tellest in thy break of heart !
Min, min, min, min, mimninminminmin . . . . !

Grey singer of the forest with heart of fire.
Dost thon cry for the world, or for my love and life ?
Is thy monotony of voice the tragedy of my song ?
Min, min, min, min, minminminminmin . . . . !

The soul that reads the sorrow of life knows thy heart :
Cry till the world and life gain the triumph of death !
Let us earn Death through the tragedy of Faith !
O singer of sad Faith and only one song, —
Cry out thy old dream of life and tears !
Min, min, min, min, minminminminmin . . . . !
