Ezra Pound

Cantico del Sole

The thought of what America would be like
If the Classics had a wide circulation
                     Troubles my sleep,
The thought of what America,
The thought of what America,
The thought of what America would be like
If the Classics had a wide circulation
                     Troubles my sleep.
Nunc dimittis, now lettest thou thy servant,
Now lettest thou thy servant
                     Depart in peace.
The thought of what America,
The thought of what America,
The thought of what America would be like
If the Classics had a wide circulation . . .
                     Oh well!
                     It troubles my sleep.
