If you ever find it…
Don’t bring gray mist in my sight
Dense emptiness, you ne’er bring
Do bring me air and light,
Or water from an Albanian spring.
I don’t want dry leaves of sadness
That change skin in autumn thereon,
I’m clean and I love the whiteness,
I’ve never become a Chameleon.
So bring me a glass of friendship,
If possible, fill it to the brim,
I long to get drunk sip by sip
Of course, if you ever find it.
