Refugee Blues Say this city has ten million souls‚ Some are living in mansions‚ some are living in holes: Yet there’s no place for us‚ my dear‚ yet there’s no place for us. Once we had a country and we thought it fair‚ 5 Look in the atlas and you’ll find it there: We cannot go there now‚ my dear‚ we cannot go there now.

The first time I read the poem "Musee des Beaux Arts"‚ by W.H. Auden‚ I was under the impression that the poem was a simple interpretation of a painting.
