Lesbia Harford (Лесбия Харфорд)


* * *


I was sad
Having signed up in a rebel band,
Having signed up to rid the land
Of a plague it had.
For I knew
That I would suffer, I would be lost,
Be bitter and foolish and tempest tost
And a failure too.
I was sad;
Though far in the future our light would shine
For the present the dark was ours, was mine,
I couldn't be glad.



Lesbia Harford's other poems:
  1. Closing Time: Public Library
  2. He had served eighty masters. They'd have said
  3. Do you remember still the little song
  4. All through the day at my machine
  5. If you have loved a brave story
