Long-legged Fly
(partie d'un poème de William Butler Yeats, mise en musique par Burger)
That the topless towers be burnt And men recall that face, Move most gently if move you must In this lonely place. She thinks, part woman, three parts a child, That nobody looks; her feet Practise a tinker shuffle Picked up on a street. (Like a long-legged fly upon the stream Her mind moves upon silence.) Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com That girls at puberty may find The first Adam in their thought, Shut the door of the Pope's chapel, Keep those children out. There on that scaffolding reclines Michael Angelo. With no more sound than the mice make His hand moves to and fro. (Like a long-leggedfly upon the stream His mind moves upon silence.)
