In time, would the land irritate us

as it must have irritated the masters

the tropical caress of the air unavoidable

getting up each day to see once more

the rolling green hills and cattle ponds

tranquil in the valleys, the horses

collected at the water trough, content

to stand or to walk over the grass.

A comely scene worthy of an oil painting

(fruit trees dappled with sunlight).

They have escaped from seasons

into the monotony of a terrible beauty.

(Who is speaking?)
