It was in the old peaceful house by the river . . .

(My bedroom windows, like the dining room windows,

Looked out over some low-lying houses and, just beyond

them, the river,

The Tagus, this very same Tagus but at a point further down.

If today I gazed out the same windows, I wouldn’t gaze out

the same windows.

That time has passed like smoke from a steamer on the high

sea . . . )

An inexplicable feeling of tenderness,

A tearful and heartfelt remorse,

For all those victims—especially the children—

I dreamed of hurting when I dreamed I was a pirate of

old . . .

A feeling of regret, since they were my victims;

A soft and tender feeling, since they weren’t really.

A confused emotion, bluish like a fogged window,

Sings old songs in my poor grieving heart.
