Classic and Contemporary Poetry
TRANSPLANTED, by DINA UAHUPIRAPI
First Line: No seed of joy within us lies
Last Line: Survives the sacrifice.
First Line: No seed of joy within us lies
Last Line: Survives the sacrifice.
No seed of Joy within us lies.
So, if our souls the blossom bear,
It is a flower of Paradise
That Love has planted there.
And in its vanished light we trace
A halo of the sunset skies;
A fragrance in the holy place
Survives the sacrifice.
