Astral miles

Поэтический перевод произведения «Космические вёрсты»,
автор исходника на русском языке – [Ирина Крымова]

The world of secrets opened up above,
And night has slipped as subcelestial fliers,
And being shot with shady blue thereof,
The earth below to grasp it thus aspires.

A star is burning, flickering with flames,
With diamond glance vistas decorating.
To fire bloom the gaze of rapture aims,
Emblazonry of cosmos contemplating.

It wanders far away from earthly chains,
Bewildered by the beauty of creation.
The universe in bluish starry plains
Is sung of by Creator on foundation.

At crack of dawn the orient goes live,
And night will take away arcanas restless,
Among the herbs the shiny moths revive,
Awakening the world, old-shoe and endless.

But at the cherished hour skies die out,
The Moon lights up the stars in cosmic places,
In search of wonders wanders gaze about
And measures astral miles in depth of spaces.
