Part II. Blank verse
Wise

Оглавление

1. At the time, when does the Sun rise,

We can see, how the nature is wise.

From time to time, we must believe,

Sunrise in us does the life-blood fill.

2. Life never can be without light.

If very dark, and everywhere night,

All people feel themselves afraid,

And only Sun can make them fearless.

3. In the warm sunlight, – all living meet

The Sun warms with joy after sleep.

Did we meet better without the sun-shining?

It is unlikely! The Sun is inspiring.

4. Where have been living the wise, perhaps in the Sun…

Perhaps in the star are living some.

Somewhere up, and higher than all…

Who can see, – only who is tall?

5. Why all reach for the Sun, warm in the sky,

Why can’t live anybody without light?

Who can answer me, when people are wise

To put some wisdom in question ours.

6. Who keeps the wise answer from all beings

Why long-drawn silence keep about it.

When comes the light, there is coming the Sun.

We very much need the wisdom fine.

7. When will come time for sages to talk.

And we can see wise light in them? What!

On earth everywhere is foggy night,

And the mind of man it wraps up.

8. You can throw off, or grow numb for ever?

After that time mind won’t come back ever.

Best thought will come like timid quest,

Let live it for the living of next.

9. Too difficult about wisdom to write,

I know only the sage can explain right.

But man all lifetime must be ready,

For the sagacious wisdom steady!

10. Wise day begins from sunrise time,

The sage thinks the first thought fine.

Who can give good advice? —

It’s only the man whose thoughts are wise!
