Gieb ihr ein Schweigen (c)
Theodore Stephanides
Tanagra Figurine
You trip so gayly, head flung back
And laughter in your eyes,
You seem to leave this earthly track
And dance into the skies.
So light and billowy your hair,
So jubilant your dress,
No one would think, to see you there,
No one could ever guess
That you had danced, when you were found,
Two thousand years beneath the ground!
(from "The Golden face", 1965)
