now dead poet Justinas Marcinkevicius
(March 10, 1930 - February 16, 2011)

Autumn grass, gray-haired sister!
There, beyond the foliage, it is unclear visible house -
memories of his caress.
door slightly open to the night went.

Autumn land, a gray-haired sister!
lying water, concealing the traces of lamb,
and you tell me anything do not say,
when I am thirsty and tend to them.

Autumn Star, sister of gray!
you help me out of all that is,
lay down my face, speech and mind,
me to come back so how was gone.

1974
(translation of Ephraim George)

*********
going with your name:

so rich, I have so many
that there is nothing to take
give everything I can

going with your joy:

shines dawns stretch
as light removes darkness
of someone's hand

going with thy pain:

this blood burning light of truth
and coals lie Do not touch
not touch live ah wounds

if our souls are empty:

you protect us from
save us from our homeland

1978
(translation Lazarus Shereshevsky)
