125 years later, Wilde is alive

Oscar, dear Oscar,

Why did not you stay in

The Island of the Sun?

The Sea would have cured

Your Ear's infection

And the Sun would have healed

Your Heart's affection

You were happy in Palermo

And the Boy in the Cathedral

Hoped You would come back

But You chose Paris, where

You should have fled to

At the right Time

Paris had You

(C) Vera da Pozzo
