david avshalomov it was not death şarkı sözleri
It was not death, for I stood up
And all the dead lie down
It was not night, for all the bells
Put out their tongues, for noon
It was not frost, for on my flesh
I felt siroccos crawl
Nor fire, for just my marble feet
Could keep a chancel cool
And yet it tasted like them all
The figures I have seen
Set orderly, for burial
Reminded me of mine
As if my life were shaven
And fitted to a frame
And could not breathe without a key
And 't was like midnight, some
When everything that ticked has stopped
And space stares, all around
Or grisly frosts, first autumn morns
Repeal the beating ground.
But most like chaos, stopless, cool
Without a chance or spar
Or even a report of land
To justify despair
