How happy my heart is, how buoyant,
On my boat so tiny and light,
I am sailing the ripples and light
All day long and from dusk till the dawning.
Love to watch the reflection of cliffs
On the surface of transparent seas.
Like a beast’s heart – mine pounded loud,
There were so many pains in the past,
It desired so many things. Now –
No desire to look at the vast.
Love to watch the reflection of cliffs
On the surface of transparent seas.
(Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev)
