BARE FROST
Gold and pale copper! Hoar frost on fields of brown gold!
The wide and golden world is glittering cold.
Through the clouds I see rivers, of sun and gold they are made,
forcing through, laughing chill as their wills' sharpened blade.
Smiling, defiant, breaking forth through the spaces it goes,
sunbeam-yellow and frosty round meadows and fields it flows.
Hear, sound it acquires, and the clear expanses rejoice!
Hear how, to reply, the whole world receives a singing voice!
A thousand times beaten and sacked and put to the knife
defiant she sings the songs of eternal desire for life.
Karin Boye, translated by David McDuff
