I’ll Be a Gardener
(Kertesz leszek) by Attila Jozsef, translated from the Hungarian by Paul Sohar
I’ll be a gardener of trees,
with the rising sun I’ll rise
and see to it that none of my
pregnant flowers ever dies.Pregnant loving flowers will
flock around me in a sea,
and I don’t care their kiss can sting
if they’re flowers true to me.I’ll drink milk and smoke a pipe,
my good name I will staunchly guard,
no harm can come to me if I
plant myself too in the yard.There’s a great need for this work
in the east and in the west -
when this world dies it will need
flowers on its grave to rest.
