Happiness slumbers in a featherbed of the Sky – no flight! –
the blizzard casts spells, laughing in face, – in vain
you search for peace in fortune-tellers and wines, – at night
the ring on your finger will turn black the same, again.
Neither cat’s shadow, nor light in the Dark Tower, – alert! –
even the doors disappeared, breaking the laws to win,
at the gatehouse, just listen, the clatter of hooves is heard,
Athos icons are stronger, that’s what I believe in.
There is a way out, I know, don’t think of the walls,
with the first star the altar will wake up the ray
of the Holy Word spilling from the stage to the halls,
the church peal will disperse evil spirits away.
