Homeward journey

Max Kowalski

Moonbeam is the rudder,

Waterlily serves as boat:

Thus Pierrot fares southward

On a fair following wind.

The stream hums deep scales

And rocks the fragile craft.

Moonbeam is the rudder,

Waterlily serves as boat.

To Bergamo, to Homeland,

Pierrot now wends his way;

Faintly in the east

Glows the green horizon.

--Moonbeam is the rudder.
