Holub's Ode to Joy

Ode to Joy
by Miroslav Holub



You only love
when you love in vain.


Try another radio probe
when ten have failed,
take two hundred rabbits
when a hundred have died:
only this is science.

You ask the secret.
It has just one name:
again.

In the end
a dog carries in his jaws
his image in the water,
people rivet the new moon,I love you.

Like caryatids
our lifted arms
hold up time’s granite load

and defeated
we shall always win.
