Elégie (Elegy) was composed after a poem of adolescence by Marie Keyser.
The original poem is as follows (with my translation below)
Entends mon chant d'exil
et comme avec patience ensevelie en terre hostile
je désapprends la respiration
l'instant et toute presence humaine
du royaume au bord du temps
ils m'ont arrachée de l'aube
et maintenant le temps sévit
le mal de terre est profond
jamais la nuit n'atteint l'aurore
inachevés abolis nous reposons
mais je me souviens
entends mon chant d'exil et le déchirement
au royaume lointain au bord du temps
s'accomplit la naissance et le premier vertige
de voir d'entendre etdde toucher le monde
ploie l'adolescence alanguie
enclose en elle
l'île à fleur de mer au chant d'écume éphemère et renouvelé
et l'envol s'accomplit vers le point d'aube
où le premier chant indécis de la grive musicienne
délie les sources dormeuses,
le vent et l'envie d'aller
les arbres vont en cortège devant
entends mon chant de retour et le cheminement....
mais pourquoi l'exil revient-il,
briser l'allégeance
condamner les jardins et les demeures
et dicter à nouveau l'errance
j'entends par mes déchirures
les rumeurs humaines et l'arrêt de mort
de l'instant convalescent
ils m'ont arrachée de l'aube....
tu dis que le château entre les bouleaux frêles
regarde la vallée entière
de l'aube a la nuit
et déjà ériges la tour
où dormir ou demeurer
où vivre déliée de la mélancholie
mais les fleurs dorment sous la terre
semées par milliers dans le jardin balsamaire.
(c) Marie Keyser

[English translation]
Hear my song of exile and how,
patiently, buried in hostile earth
I learn how to forget breath the moment and human presence ...
from the kingdom on the borders of time
they have ripped me from the dawn
and now time is raging ...
I long to return to earth
Night will never reach the dawn
Incomplete, wiped out, we rest but I remember ....
hear my song of exile,
how it tears me in the far off kingdom
on the border of time
the birth is completed
and we first dizzily hear,
see and touch the world
languishing we grow towards the adult
but we are enclosed in ourselves
the island just touching the sea
singing the renewed song of the foam
that lasts but a day
and fly toward the first hint of dawn
where the first uncertain song of the thrush
releases the sleepy water springs,
the wind and the desire to go
a consort of trees goes before them
hear my song of return and the journeying....
but why does exile come back,
breaking the allegiance
condeming the gardens, the dwelling places,
and ordering me once more me to wander
I hear, through the tearing, human sounds
and the deadly stopping of the moment of recovery
they have ripped me from the dawn....
you say that the manor house
between the fragile birch trees
looks over the whole valley from dawn to night
and already you build up the tower
