Addio

I saw this



then I thought about this


(La Belle Dam Sans Mercie - by John William Waterhouse 1893)

And then I wrote down this

Addio (by Ignorance)

“Please don’t leave, they are sending you to eternity!
Nothing is worse than lost my dear over frontier.”
“I must go, to liberate the Holy City.”

“What you will see in the Islamic country
is only sand, stone, sword and spear…
Please don’t leave, they are sending you to eternity.”

“POPE calls us to give the paynim their penalty.
The reward he promised is wealth and honor.
I must go, to liberate the Holy City.”

“In the bloody battlefield, there is no glory.
We just buried my brother’s empty bier last year.
Please don’t leave, they are sending you to eternity.”

“Don’t worry, just pray for me.
I will return in the victory cheer.
I must go, to liberate the Holy City.”

“I beg you stay here
with a jar of lover’s tear…
Please don’t leave, they are sending you to eternity.”
“I must go, to liberate the Holy City!”
