A Quiet, Dull Place
Заводи
The sun went down in the west
beyond the promised fields,
and this quiet, dull place
turned dark-blue, fragrant.
The reeds shook faintly,
a bat flew by,
a fish splashed in the still pond...
And those who have a home
started home, toward
blue shutters, toward
ancient armchairs, toward
round tea tables.
Only I stayed outside,
watching this quiet, dull place
where by daylight it is delight to swim,
where at night it is delight to weep,
because, Lord, it is You I love.
