    Sorry! Some mistake with the link it isn't working for me, either.
    Still learning to move about on Duck Duck.
    Opportune poem at a moment when tension between Russia and Poland is increasing.
    Next poem tomorrow when on PC.

    With me too!?
    Going on with "V":

    "Very like to a dream,"."The Morning Drive" by Mary Ann H. T. Bigelow
    FOR MY DAUGHTER MARGARET.

    Very like to a dream,
    Doth the time to me seem,
    When with thee a young girl by my side,
    One of summer's fine days,
    In a one pony chaise,
    We commenced in the morning our ride.

    By the pine grove and nook,
    Over bridge and through brook,
    Quite at random we drove without fear;
    While the birds of the grove,
    In sweet harmony strove,
    By their concert of music to cheer.
    With none to molest us,
    No home cares to press us,
    Farther onward, and onward we roam;
    But at length the skies lower,
    And unhoped for the shower
    Finds us many miles distant from home.

    Even so is life's day,
    Like a fair morn in May,
    With hope's bright bow of promise it cheers;
    But long before night,
    The sun that so bright
    In the morning had shone, disappears.

    Do not then I entreat,
    My beloved Margaret,
    Be content with this world for thy portion;
    Let ambition soar higher,
    E'en above earth aspire,
    And to God give thy heart's true devotion.

    April 29, 1853.

    Enjoyed that Lullaby

    Poem by an author with name with "X"

    LEAVE YOURSELF STRAIGHT by Halima XUDOYBERDIEVA (translation Azam Abidov)

    I am not able to know. Is this world wisdom or gold,
    I wished revealing all the magic, every time but was surprised,
    They see my palace in detail, and a special room I hold,
    No friend I find to see my heart, and for care to arise.

    A thought has settled in my soul, like a bodkin and a shot,
    I ask you: never fall, because:a fallen man has no support.

    Jackdaws move away from you, even gardens step aside,
    Thank you for your cultivation, do you like them take offense?
    The mounts that you lifted up are able calmly leave behind,
    Come near, but be not distressed if a stone won’t confess.

    Having tired, if you wish to lean, no garden, almond – spoilt,
    I ask you: never fall, because a fallen man has no support!

    If you have not only taking but a good aid-giving friend,
    Stand up straight yourself that every pillar in the world will fall.
    Even if you have a friend that’s going up to grave – till end,
    Go yourself to death and never on the way depart at all.

    Live in pride!
    And having mourning, act: you lucky man, in short,
    I ask you: never fall, because a fallen man has no support!
