Here and there

Here is the same as there, my friend,

All places in this world are like.

If doomed thy life in grief to spend,

What change can then thy fate amend,

What from thy soul the pain can strike?

When pain doth wound the tired heart

And grief doth tire the fevered eye,

Some joy indeed the world's great art

May to thy pained soul impart-

What's this if joy in thee not lie?

When on my restless couch I lie

And count the throbbing of my breath,

I see the joy of earth and sky

Yet hate it alI; why should not I

So keep my coward mind from death?

True joy comes not from outward show

But in our deepest soul doth rest.

What matter if the sun can glow

And stars at night look sweetly so

When hearts are by their grief opprest?

For when the darkness weighs thy thought,

And night doth fall upon thy soul,

Are not again thy sorrows brought?

Is not thy mind in shadows caught?

Do fears not back upon thee roll?

I cannot do but hope; as mine

Thy mind I see to hopes doth bend;

I in my land and thou in thine

We suffer both - our griefs entwine.

Here is the same as there, my friend.

- Alexander Search (Fernando Pessoa)
