Stars
little stars, you're so high and so clear!
What have
you got in you, so fascinating?
Stars, deep
in thought, so discreet you appear,
What is the
power that makes you so tempting?
Stars,
little stars, you're so dense and so solid!
What is it
that makes you so great and alluring?
How can
you, heavenly bodies, afford it?
Stirring a
thirst and desire for learning?
Why, as you
shine, are you nice and inviting?
Into your
wide open arms, on the instant?
Pleasing
the heart, so benign and enticing,
Heavenly
stars, so remote and so distant!
Serguei Iessenin
1911-1912

from the Russian by Alec Vagapov)
