We bowed in the covenant,
The Silence of the church are confused.
In the rays of divine light
Smile reminded Wife.
Unanimous and silent,
In some rays, in some walls,
Comprehended sunny waves
At the top - in the dark domes.
And with this old gilding,
From the depths of this terrible
On my holiday down Someone
With a smile, affectionate Wife.
