A restless shadow
Of a fiddler's elbow
Plays a tune to
Staggering feet
The burden of his songs
The looking glass scorns
At this disfigured
Odious face
Indeed alone
Hugging my breast
The sun i neglect
In darkness i roam
Offerings of flowers
On a barren grave
Where my body will lie
Uncared and unwept
Idle bait, my shawl on the lattice
Someone may see it
Perhaps look my way
No thread of sympathy
Unites me to man
I lay softly
Down once again
Of a fiddler's elbow
Plays a tune to
Staggering feet
The burden of his songs
The looking glass scorns
At this disfigured
Odious face
Indeed alone
Hugging my breast
The sun i neglect
In darkness i roam
Offerings of flowers
On a barren grave
Where my body will lie
Uncared and unwept
Idle bait, my shawl on the lattice
Someone may see it
Perhaps look my way
No thread of sympathy
Unites me to man
I lay softly
Down once again
