Father's Incantations
o sweet master, with how much peace
Your serene wisdom fllls the heart!
I love you, I am in your power
Even though I will never see your face.
Your ashes have long been scattered,
Your sins and follies no one remembers.
And for ages you will remain perfect
Like your book drawn by thought from nothingness.
Youknew bitterness and you knew doubt
But the memory of your faults has vanished.
And I know why I cherish you today:
Men are small but their works are great.
