Rock me down, o starry skiff! My head tired from waves, so stiff! Very long I look for abode, – My head tired from passions, hot: Laurels – hymns – hydras – heroes, brazed, – My head tired from senseless plays! Lay me down mid leaves and grass, – My head tired from ceaseless wars. Translated by Yevgeny Bonver, October 14, 2005
