Längs ekots stigar
Längs ekots stigar tillbaka.
Där vilar orden i sina gamla betydelsers skrin.
Men ack så främmande. Vad är det de säger, dessa läppar.
Om andra sammanhang och tillstånd talar de.
Medan du lyssnar till deras tal
formar de något som förändrats också av dem
stavar på ett språk än längre borta
i ännu ett av skrinen
i de sju skrinens berg
tusen och tusen år före Babylon.
Av Harry Martinson
Ur den postumt publicerade diktsamlingen Längs ekots stigar, 1978
Publicerad med tillstånd av Eva Martinson
