Let My Shadow Disappear Into Yours - Par Lagerkvist

Let my shadow disappear into yours.
Let me lose myself
under the tall trees,
that themselves lose their crowns in the twilight,
surrendering themselves to the sky and the night.

Par Lagerkvist (1891 – 1974) Sweden
Translated by W. H. Auden & Leif Sjöberg
