| | From “Reflections”
Forest Fires
SUMMER is burning! From trees’ red crown | |
| Ashes of June pour hotly down. | |
| |
Night of Stars
They crowded round me more and more; | |
| I had to shove to shut the door. | |
| |
Ascent
Mountains take too much time. | 5 |
| Start at the top and climb. | |
| |
Reproach
You gave me wings to fly; | |
| Then took away my sky. | |
| |
Down to the Heights
In the deep valleys, and deeper still, | |
| I found my heights … against my will. | 10 | | | |
