Outwitted
by Edwin Markham
He drew a circle that shut me out—
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!
Déjoué
par Edwin Markham
Il a tracé un cercle qui m’a exclu —
Hérétique, rebelle, objet de rebut.
Mais l'Amour et moi avons su gagner :
On a tracé un cercle qui l'englobait !
Edwin Markham (1852-1940)
