AFTER SEPARATION

Kaarlo Sarkia(1902-1945)

Deep waters shimmer

longing.

Trees waver over

deep waters.

I know I won't

see you again.

The road leaving from you

darkens.

Only the images of stars

embed in water:

Thus before my eyes

your eyes are left.

(Erottua; Velka elämälle(Porvoo: WSOY 1931), page 87.]
