Anthem

Before being turned to ashes

by the wrath of the thunderbolt,

he had forced the steer of the tempest

to kneel before his might.

To test

the faith of old

he had worn out his teeth

on the locks of ancient gates.

On the most out-of-the way paths

he struggled,

an unexpected passer-by

whose voice every thicket and bridge

recognized.
