In Love's Paradise
A damn fool, heavenly muse,
rising out of chaos, with loss of Eden
its exorbitant price!
Nothing pure and upright, no aid
to my adventurous song, inspire
disobedience!
What is mine is in darkness, illuminates
indifference!
It asserts its rightful place in
the heart of beloved, all your woe
and curses thrown on the forbidden tree!
And that shepherd who ate his lamb
to get into heaven's back door, unseen, satiated
by the Siloa's Brook where angels go fly fishing
giggling by the sight of the shepherd waving at them,
that man's first disobedience, lured by the taste of
passion in the air.
