lyrics

He sought an earthly leader who could stand
Without panache, without cockade,
Son only of man and son of men,
The outer captain, the inner saint.

The pine, the pillar, and the priest,
The voice, the book, the hidden well,
The faster's feast and heavy fruited star,
The father, the beater of the rigid drums.

He that at midnight clutches the guitar,
The solitude, the barrier, the Pole
In Paris, celui qui chante et pleure,
Winter devising summer in its breast,

Summer assaulted, thundering, illumed,
Shelter, yet thrower of the summer spear,
With all its attributes, no god but man
Of men whose heaven is in themselves,

Or else whose hell, foamed with their blood,
And the long echo of their dying cry,
A fate intoned, a death before they die,
A race that sings and weeps and knows not why.
