Pastorale

Since you love me and I love you
The rest matters not.
I will cut grass in the fields
And you will sell it for beasts.

Since you love me and I love you
The rest matters not.
I will sow maize in the fields
and you will sell it for people.

by E. Powys Mathers (1892-1939) , "Song", from Kafiristan
