Terugkyk

Terugkyk

A Poem by Ted Farrar
"

The sadness of leaving a place, not knowing whether you'll ever go back, or if you do, whether it'll ever be the same again.

"

Dis die aand van hierdie episode

En ek skryf in Afrikaans;

Te laat nou - terugkyk verbode,

Maar in die volheid van die maan as ek onthou,

Sal ek al my beloftes onderbreek?

Sal ek sit en verlang, droom en maak planne

Vir die dag ek weer hier kan keer

En onder die piesangboom sit by die see?

Perhaps 'bly' rather than 'sit' in the last line - more in keeping with the sentiment of returning for good.
