Waist

When the world is laid waste,

And its celebrants are cinders,

And its clothes ashes;



When it is once again a dead rock,

Like the rock that encircles it,

Its dust open to the poisonous wind;



When we have wrought what we’ve wrought

And done what we’ve done,

And there is no one left to look back in sorrow or anger:



Ah, then, what a song will never be sung!
