In this splendid isolation –
Silence’s enchantment is everywhere.
The prevailing lull is eminent.
I have not heard for a long time:
Such silence!

Grey clouds have stepped into the sky.
I love grey clouds!
In this splendid isolation –
A lonely thought has begun to sing!
It’s moving with my heart.

Yonder, the sea is like a lake
Of flat crystal.
The tide flows with speechless movements.
Silence’s enchantment is everywhere.
Such silence!
