Poesia (21) | William Butler Yeats - The Mother Of God

Não há amor verdadeiro a uma pessoa sem um sadio amor à família dessa pessoa e, porque todos sabemos que o amor de/à mãe é sempre tão especial, à mãe daquela. Disso nos recorda, se necessário fosse, este poema The Mother of God de William Butler Yeats.


The Mother Of God

                                  The threefold terror of love; a fallen flare
                                  Through the hollow of an ear;
                                  Wings beating about the room;
                                  The terror of all terrors that I bore
                                  The Heavens in my womb.

                                  Had I not found content among the shows
                                  Every common woman knows,
                                  Chimney corner, garden walk,
                                  Or rocky cistern where we tread the clothes
                                  And gather all the talk?

                                  What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
                                  This fallen star my milk sustains,
                                  This love that makes my heart's blood stop
                                  Or strikes a Sudden chill into my bones
                                  And bids my hair stand up?
