At night

Величутина Елизавета
The Night steps on the pavement,
Singing the ancient song,
Why do you feel so lonely?
Where has your happiness gone?

Silence lays as a cover,
But does not give warm at all,
Where’s your perfect lover?
Why do you sleep alone?

The Night touches the sky so gently,
And making the stars switching on,
She whispers: the cage will be empty,
Believe me: the bird will be gone.
