A TEAR

Kaarlo Sarkia(1902-1945)

For the most beautiful

I had no word.

Under the starry sky

I halted and across

the trail of the Milky Way,

the belt of distances,

wept my yearning...

Glittered along the stars

across the bridge of longing

a tear >>good evening!>>

glimmered >>good night!>>

(Kyynel; Kohtalon vaaka, 1943, page 115.)
