THE CORBEAU
What do you believe good people !
What are you afraid of ?
The funeral messenger
Companion of woe
Or witch
Who on many plains good nurseries
Leaves for any color
Only whitened bones with a vertebra
This black that we wear
Plume lustre
Sied to our noble assembly
In times of stone split
Maigre is the food
It was not easy to beak
If this is not
and grace is this gift
for only in fields
Where men cut
The earth's furrows offer beautiful bleeding
Body made with scrap
Long life echoes us
This is not their lot
for often at a young age
By sword and knife
They find treacherous
And we find advantage
since it is worth making us fat.
If brains
to us lack
Man seems out of quarrel
Even more than the bird
Missing wings
In the brain.
Christian Tarroux
