                PASSOVER  NIGHT
(Free translation  from Russian by the author  Yosef Latman)

In this Passover  night by the moonlight
I hear  echo of footsteps  in deep quiet...
In  the doors the keys hide their self, as  faithful guards,
The flames tremble in the depths of the hearths.

I am  going random by  the quiet street,
Hiding   unclear soul's pain,
From a window flow a song, as a noise rain's.               
I, standing near park, charmed,  hear it.          

In this Passover  night by the moonlight
My heart is beating to the rhythm of strange footsteps,
As if  the forgotten keys to the past
I  am looking for into the ancient Passover tents.
