Ποιήματα: Ανέκδοτα (1877;-1923)
Leaving
Therapia
Good-bye to
Therapia & joys of the hotel -
Good dinners
that make you exultingly swell,
Good beds
that refresh you from the toil of the day
Fine sights
near which you'd wish ever to stay -
To all these
good things the time is well nigh
I must
bid a Good-Bye!
However
Calikioy's opposite shore
I must hail
tho' by far more simple & poor:
But they say
what is simple is good at the heart
And where
goodness is we may well spare art:
So at humble
Calikioy let us not rail
But bid it All Hail!
