My Dearest Mother

Agnes Sotiracopoulou-Skina  (Translated from French)

AGNES SOTIRACOPOULOU-SKINA

Of your dear, sweet face,
My ears enchanted by your voice,
Whenever I should go
For so long as I live, you are always with me;

More now than when you were still alive–

Annihilates me, each time
It waned to leave me a wreck.

Ah; this solitude
How unlike any other,
And I, who believed
That I had known every loneliness ....
Translated from French by Hugh McKinley
