Title
Poem by Edward Renouf for Anny Schey von Koromla
Date
[c.26 July 1932]
Description
For the queen of the day
And the empress of night,
For Saint Anna’s namesake
Let this hymn be right:

Crackle and whirr, rejoice and shout!
All the litanies of joy bring out!
Floral aromas and sparkling wine!
Lunar light on oceans fine!
Beate, Inge, Clemens, Etl
Give herewith on written vessel
All as one in heartfelt emotion
To lovely Annerl their eternal devotion!

[Drawing in coloured pencils showing flowers and heart pierced by four individually signed arrows: Etl, Inge, Clemens, Beate]
