from The Witnesses
Young men late in the night
Toss in their beds,
Their pillows do not comfort
Their uneasy heads,
Their pillows do not comfort
Their uneasy heads,
The lot that decides their fate
Is cast to-morrow,
One must depart and face
Danger and sorrow.
Is it me? Is it me?
Look in your heart and see:
There lies the answer.
Though the heart like a clever
Conjuror or dancer
Deceive you often with many
A curious sleight,
And motives like stowaways
Are found too late.
There lies the answer.
Though the heart like a clever
Conjuror or dancer
Deceive you often with many
A curious sleight,
And motives like stowaways
Are found too late.
What shall he do, whose heart
Chooses to depart?
Chooses to depart?
He shall against his peace
Feel his heart harden,
Envy the heavy birds
At home in a garden,
At home in a garden,
For walk he must the empty
Selfish journey
Between the needless risk
And the endless safety.
Will he safe and sound
Return to his own ground?
Clouds and lions stand
Before him dangerous,
And the hostility of dreams.
Then let him honour Us,
Lest he should be ashamed
In the hour of crisis,
In the valley of corrosion
Tarnish his brightness.
Who are You, whose speech
Sounds far out of reach?
Sounds far out of reach?
– W.H. Auden (ca. 1934)
