Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

Can You Hear, Tender Prince

'Silence. Almost. But still your step is light.'

Jean Grosjean, Cantilènes

Can you hear, tender Prince, the meadow grasses,
the sages, the daisies silently growing,
just as the larks on the sundials of our hearts
work noiselessly to swell the hymns of our spirits?

translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
