Garden

Akhilles Nikolayevich Alferaki

Garden of my sister,

secluded garden;

No clear spring there

runs down, captured from the mountains.

In my garden gleam fruits

golden and ready to eat;

In my garden runs noisily

clear, living water.

Spikenard, aloe and cinnamon,

rich in fragrance:

So long as the aquilon wind is blowing,

the aromas will spread!
