Gilbert Keith Chesterton (Гилберт Кит Честертон)

The New Omar

A Book of verses underneath the bough,
Provided that the verses do not scan,
A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and Thou,
Short-haired, all angles, looking like a man.

But let the wine be unfermented, Pale,
Of chemicals compounded, God knows how--
This were indeed the Prophet's Paradise,
O Paradise were Wilderness enow.

1. Blessed Are the Peacemakers
2. The Song of Right and Wrong
3. Bay Combe
4. The Crusader Returns from Captivity
5. The House of Christmas
