ورأيت الشهداء واقفين، كلٌ على نجمته، سعداء بما قدّموا
للموتى الأحياء من أمل.
ورأيتَ رأيت رأيت بلاداً يلبسها الشهداء ويرتفعون بها
أعلى منها/ وحياً وحياً. ويعودون بها خضراءَ وزرقاء/
وقاسيةً في تربية سلالتهم: موتوا لأعيش!/ فلا يعتذرون
ولا ينسون وصاياهم لسلاتهم: أنتم غَدُنا، فاحيَوا كي
نحيا فيكم!/ وأَحِبُّوا زهر الرُمّان/ وزهر الليمون/.
وصُبُّوا خمرتنا في عيد الحب/! فلم نجد الوقت لنشربها
معكم/. عفواً! لم نجد الوقت/. فلا تنْسَوا أنتم أن تجدوا
الوقت لتحتفلوا بالحب/، وتنتقموا بالحب لنا ولكم!/
