Antanas Gustaitis (1907 - 1990)

PATIENCE

Youthful laugh. Cantilena.

Girls are dancing in a circle,

And I, under the feet, under the ground –

Lying, listening in silence.

Enemies tasting my wine,

Friends mocking my lines,

Foreboding even onto my ribs –

Lying, listening in silence.

And when hot young (Russian) Naste

Sits with a man among the flowers,

I wish I could bite them through the grass –

I lie oppressed in silence.
