You may be a mere piece of wood
But you are the one symbol of labour
That raised its head in the ancient years of the earth-
Plough may be your name
But you are that burning letter
Which fell on the earth
From the sky
Abandoning the language of stars-
Your touched roused
The perfumes of dreams
Sleeping in the earth
And dispersed them all over
In the empty space-
Before you might knelt
The woods, the hills
The rivers and the savannahs-
Drinking your sperm
Earth yielded in ecstatic joy
Large gifts of fruits
Hearths, homes and poems
Today in the final page of history
Your have drawn the burning line
Across the mankind
Defining workers and idlers
Held out the promise of a new sun
To the working class of the world
