| The angel on duty appeared to me at night,
|
| I didn't sleep, I sat by the window,
|
| He turned holy eyes to me -
|
| Well, how do you live, what did you sing, what did you not sing?
|
| He put his wings on the table wearily,
|
| I warmed up strong coffee for the guest.
|
| He drank, and I, leafing through the past days,
|
| She looked at herself with his eyes.
|

|
| Then, in response, easily and carelessly
|
| She said to him - “Everything, my friend, is fine!
|
| Dear friends, work is not a burden to me,
|
| A diligent daughter and a husband are affectionate with me.
|
| “I thought…” he sighed sadly,
|
| He put on a shabby halo and bowed, -
|
| “Once again I meet a happy one,
|
| And again, my experience was not useful.
|
| Once again I meet a happy
|
| And again, my experience was not useful.
|
| And the ruler of all insomnia flew away,
|
| Carrying ghostly happiness on wings,
|
| To disturb the ringing of the bell
|
| The one who opens the windows wide open.
|
| I am the door to the cage, where the soul is like a bird,
|
| I did not open it to the Savior of the night.
|
| And how could I obey him,
|
| What did I dislike in this life?
