You know, there are books
That move me to new places.
To get there you need
Neither tickets nor cases.
Just open it, drop into –
Oh dear! –
You see strange landscapes
And feel no fear.
Imagine, there are books
That make me another human.
Either old or young,
Once a man then a woman.
And you are so worried
When they feel any stress,
You are glad with them, angry...
You wear their dress!
Believe me, there are books
That turn my life into a wonder.
They change a dark into the light
And silence into thunder.
I sink this ocean
And find more than treasures,
I fly through other worlds
And have the highest pleasures!
