• Parting

    From Ilya Shambat@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 9 17:01:26 2022
    Your horse as in the past is running,
    Right through the park today with joy...
    But in the heart is shade, it's crying,
    My hero, my prince, my boy.

    =====

    The voice without name whispers to me:
    "Dreams of oppression - can't take this!"
    Before eternal parting's secret
    Accept apologies, my prince.

    =====

    About Lord Jesus it is authored:
    He's always luminous and young,
    He bought eternity at Golgotha,
    And your Golgotha was Schenbrunne!

    =====

    The bells of christening before you
    Sounded to me with call to God...
    I gave away so much for you!
    I gave away too much, I did!

    =====

    And now my soul is almost peaceful,
    Don't prick, embarrass it at all...
    Farewell, warrior with sorrow stricken,
    A wounded eagle, farewell!

    =====

    You were my light and foolish madness,
    You're dream like will not come again...
    Farewell, my duke light-haired,
    My wondrous love, farewell, farewell!
