­Legámânt - Testament
To Mihai Eminescu

I know: one day, as shadows rise,
Or as the morning wages,
My soul shall fly, whereas my eyes
Shall linger on His pages.

The middle of the book I should
Have reached by then, I reckon.
Yet, do not shut it, as you would
My eyelids in that second.

Do leave it open, for my son
And daughter to continue...
Let them read on, when I am gone,
With all their father's sinew.

And if my children cannot hear
Its wondrous horn of yore,
Its woods dispose below my ear
To sigh forever more.
