Tender Renown

Autoři: Stanislav Jelínek - Zuzana Lípová / Emily Dickinson

I hide myself within my flower,

That wearing on your breast,

You, unsuspecting, wear me too -

And angels know the rest.

I hide myself within my flower,

That, fading from your vase,

You, unsuspecting, feel for me

Almost a loneliness.

He touched me, so I live to know

That such a day, permitted so,

I groped upon his breast.

It's a boundless place to me,

And silence, as the awful sea

Puts minor streams to rest.

And now, I'm different from before,

As of I breathed superior air,

Or brushed a royal grown;

My feet, too, that had wandered so,

My gypsy face transfigured now

To tender renown.
