one bird song
after another ...
alone
in the waters of spring
thoughts of her flow away
Croatian translation
pjesm a jedne ptice
nakon druge
sam
u proljetnim vodama
misli o njoj oticu

across the darkness
lights on the far shore beam
a welcoming warmth
like the friends and lovers
we will meet by reaching out
