All because of the gap in the wooden ceiling
and because of this hole in a patched roof,
because Life with freedom has enthused
and flown away in the direction unknown.

They say that like a rainbow, hung for a moment,
which is a harbinger of good weather after the rain
and it had wings colorful like butterflies
- of such unusual ordinary beauty.

They say it had charming veil
like morning fog over a blossomed meadow
and it looked like a happy bird
resembling so much the larks over the heavens.

Then on a field willow it sat
And having sung... it vanished.
