The dearest globe

In the light of the fading and dying moon,
By wraiths of mist-clouds overspread,
I dreamed in an uneartly swoon --
I dreamed of unearthly space ahead...
But my whole heart for the Earth then yearned,
For this ancient sphere, for ever near,
And in that moment with love I burned -
No other globe could be so dear!

                May 1st 1981.
                Moscow.
