Arany János - Győrei Zsolt (szerk.): The trill of the nightingale (Budapest, 2019)

V - „'Tis enough if it shines for me” - As my Song Fades (Mark Baczoni)

As my Song Fades

I've hung my lyre on its hook, Closed up my commonplace book Just like a tomb, fast.

My hand hangs upon the string, Poems only boredom bring;

This may be my last.

What good, what good is't for me To make the long litany Of all these, my songs?

Should not this parishioner Just see a practitioner,

If something is wrong?
