I Want No Other Joy



I want no other joy when summer
returns, than that of the year gone by.
Under dozing muscats, I will sit.
Deep in woods where fresh water sings,
I will hear, will feel and see
what the forest hears, feels and sees.

I want no other joy when autumn
returns, than that of the yellow leaves
raking the hills amid thunder,
than the muffled sound of new wine in barrels,
than heavy skies and cowbells clanging
and beggars asking for alms.

I want no other joy when winter
returns, than that of the iron skies,
than the smoke of the grinding cranes
and embers that sing like the sea,
than the lamp behind green tiles
in the shop where the bread is bitter.

I want no other joy when spring
returns, than that of the biting winds,
the leafless peach trees blooming,
pathways muddy and green,
than the violet and the bird singing
like a stream that gorges on the storm.
