Tell That Neighbor Girl
TWO LEBANESE MOUNTAIN POEMS
by Michel Traad
Tell that neighbor girl
Who’s been asking for me:
Tell her: he has sold
The paradise that is her
At a poor bargain
And leans here singing
At a tavern door.
Who’s been asking for me:
Tell her: he has sold
The paradise that is her
At a poor bargain
And leans here singing
At a tavern door.
