The Isle of Light

for Varavara Rao *

There is an Isle of Light
I will take you there
It has never known iron bars
Come with me to the Isle of Light

There is no government there
The seas rule and the ocean winds
Seasons change at the word of poets
Come with me to the Isle of Light.

Gabriel Rosenstock, Ireland
