Do you remember runners in  
Who must unfold the rolls of green  
The outskirts of Verona  
Broadcloth in their own honour?  
Who must unfold the rolls of green  
But only he will leave behind  
Broadcloth in their own honour?  
All others drawn by Dante,  
But only he will leave behind  
Who — to the disputes so inclined —  
All others drawn by Dante,  
Will run away from Canto.

Do you remember runners in
The outskirts of Verona
Who must unfold the rolls of green
Broadcloth in their own honour?
But only he will leave behind
All others drawn by Dante,
Who — to the disputes so inclined —
Will run away from Canto.


May 1932, Moscow — September 1935, Voronezh
