Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
Smile, My Beautyful Child (English)
1.
Smile, my beautiful child, as in the fields smiles
the tender violet touched by the dew,
and may time spare your frail timidity
sweet as beauty and pure as the night.
2.
Smile beautiful child, as one small
violet smiles in a field touched by dew.
Will it please time to spare you, so fragile, so shy,
tender hearted as a cloud, innocent as a star?
