Strange Duke

Strange Duke rode across the land and cornflowers faded,
when from fingers he forged bars and from hands railings,
[: he knit wires from hair, he had casemates made of palms,
and clothes from brocades, evil words instead of arms:]
 
Wherever he stood only the saffrons and henbanes sprout,
when no tears were left then the gas helped,
[: he drove winds away with chaffs and Christ screamed from cross,
when wounds he healed with salt, that Strange Duke :]
 
He was both master and servant and wad of verdicts
he tied with black ribbon which he dipped into the Channel,
[: and deaf song weakened when raven marked path,
when for glory of devil he proclaimed in the manifesto :]
 
Instead of poems he had files and prose as plague,
and brown and black rats, and diphosgene and chlorine,
[: he had hat made of bird-of-paradise and with dignity of snob,
he came up with fables in which ire prevails :]
 
He had baton instead of rights and estates for guards,
where murderers roared for the red cockade,
[: he berated people as betrayers, he wrote slogans on archways,
in which, by wish of rulers, the lie and vice marry:]
 
Further Duke carries wreath through that horrified land,
he has the fear as ally, he goes with his head down,
[: and he doesn't realise that children from that cold land,
will plainly and without the will behead him once :]
