''Translated by D. Kahn''

I'd worn my ragged coat so bare[[BR]]
The tattered sleaves were thin as paper[[BR]]
And so I took it to a tailor[[BR]]
And ask him kindly for repair[[BR]]
I made a joke and said, this coat[[BR]]
Requires total restoration[[BR]]
To bring me glory and salvation[[BR]]
I need your skillful hand to sew[[BR]]
But then my playful little words[[BR]]
Took on a meaning uninteded[[BR]]
As he methodically mended[[BR]]
He seemed disturbed, peculiar bird[[BR]] 
And I observed the silent way[[BR]] 
He worked through rectifying garment[[BR]] 
As though my soul depended on it,[[BR]] 
This ragged coat, for all may days[[BR]] 
He thought I'd slip into the sleeve[[BR]] 
And I'd but live again so clearly[[BR]]
That somehow you could love sincerely[[BR]]
But that's absurd, peculiar bird[[BR]]
