To My Sister

The evergreen pine forest was getting dark
When I reached it through heat and road, lengthy of week.
From his cell inside like through a door of bark
He came then, grayish, enlightened, and meek.

He looked through me with his prophetic eyes,
And said solemnly, The bride of the Lord,
Do not envy more anyone elses ties.
Your place is ready at the feast of the God!

I would forget of my parents home
Id get enlightened and would obtain visions,
Would sleep sick, in fever, in a straws foam,
Welcoming the death in my schism.

I think that he heard, this forests saint,
How I sang merrily on my long way home,
Being happy that I got ordained,
Touching my soul by his sacred soul!

Моей сестре

Подошла я к сосновому лесу.
Жар велик, да и путь не короткий.
Отодвинув дверную завесу,
Вышел седенький, светлый и кроткий.

Пошлядел на меня прозорливец,
И промолвил: «Христова невеста!
Не завидуй удаче счастливиц,
Там тебе уготовано место.»

Позабуду я об отчем доме,
Уподоблюсь небесному крину.
Буду, хворая, спать на соломе
И блаженную приму я кончину.

Верно слышал святитель из кельи,
Как я пела обратной дорогой
О моём несказанном весельи,
И дивяся, и радуясь много.
