Original text and translations

English text 1  You'd failed, abandoned us, you'd left. Why should I think you could come back? We struggled, lonely and bereft. Your easy absence was our lack. 2  How to continue, left behind? What good news could we truly tell? And then, this weakness of the mind: They said you had come back from Hell. 3  I can't accept it, won't conspire to lie to people in their grief. I need to touch your wounds, require a tactile witness, for belief.

4  And yet I thought I saw you wince in love and care. And even though it's been some twenty centuries since, I've seen you bleeding here below. 5  You've carried me, I've touched a welt; Those scars are real, I will allow. Mayhap I know how Thomas felt. "My Lord, my God!": I know you now.
