Νιρβάνας, Παύλος

«Ολυμπία»

ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑ

Ὦ φῶς καὶ χλόη καὶ νερὰ καὶ κρουσταλλένιε ἀέρα,
Ζωὴ καὶ χάρο ἀσύγκριτα τὰ σμίξατ' ἐδῶ πέρα.
Κ' ἐδῶ ἡ ὀλύμπια ἡ ζωὴ τὰ μάτια ἂν ἔχει κλείσει,
Τόσο γλυκὰ κοιμήθηκε, ποὺ λές: κι' ἂς μὴν ξυπνήση.

Π. Νιρβάνας, Εκλεκταί Σελίδες: Ποιήματα, Αθήνα, Ελευθερουδάκης, 1922, σ. 17
