Charles Reznikoff - "TE DEUM"

TE DEUM

Not because of victories
I sing,
having none,
but for the common sunshine,
the breeze,
the largess of the spring.

Not for victory
but for the day´s work done
as well as I was able;
not for a seat upon the dais
but at the common table.

(1919)

Olá querida Josefa,
Não conhecia e gostei dessa simplicidade de ser.
Desejo que as férias, lhe estejam a proporcionado o desejado,
Beijo,
Manuela
