544 The Martyr Poets – did not tell [French translation]

The Martyr Poets — did not tell —

But wrought their Pang in syllable —

That when their mortal name be numb —

Their mortal fate — encourage Some —

The Martyr Painters — never spoke —

Bequeathing — rather — to their Work —

That when their conscious fingers cease —

Some seek in Art — the Art of Peace —
