I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
That Sense was breaking through -
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -
My mind was going numb -
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
-------------------------------
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,
Then Space - began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here -
solitary, here -
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then -
And Finished knowing - then -
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain
Sentí un funeral en mi cerebro,
los deudos iban y venían
arrastrándose -arrastrándose -hasta que pareció
que el sentido se quebraba totalmente -
y cuando todos estuvieron sentados,
una liturgia, como un tambor -
comenzó a batir -a batir -hasta que pensé
que mi mente se volvía muda -
----------------------------------
y luego los oí levantar el cajón
y crujió a través de mi alma
con los mismos botines de plomo, de nuevo,
el espacio -comenzó a repicar,
como si todos los cielos fueran campanas
y existir, sólo una oreja,
y yo, y el silencio, alguna extraña raza
naufragada, solitaria, aquí -
y luego un vacío en la razón, se quebró,
caí, y caí -
y di con un mundo, en cada zambullida,
y terminé sabiendo -entonces -
