Lustra/Dum Capitolium Scandet

by Ezra Pound

Dum Capitolium Scandet

How many will come after me
singing as well as I sing, none better;
Telling the heart of their truth
as I have taught them to tell it;
Fruit of my seed,
my unnameable children.

Know then that I loved you from afore-time,
Clear speakers, naked in the sun, untrammelled.
