45 NATALIE DESSAY ∙ PHILIPPE CASSARD No.1: The Stabbed Dove (1948) If God had not made the sun and the worlds, There would have been no pain, nor my girl. No stabbings, no red blood, nor my beloved . . . There would be no stabbed dove on earth. If God had not made the moon and the storms, There would have been no tears on gentle faces, No savage knife, nor my beloved . . . There would be no stabbed dove on earth . . . If God had not made the days that follow day, There would have been no love, nor my love! There would be no stabbed dove on earth. Nor, Lord, my beloved!
