Milky soft lures fog. Artist Leon Dabo / Leon Dabo (1865-1960)
A. Rubinstein – Chopin / Nocturne b-moll, or.9
Milky soft lures fog.
Maybe it – the truth, and maybe – deception.
Thinks, imagining that in the haze
Oil month, shimmering house.
Slowly into the sea mist going.
Maybe a month before I dobredu?
Maybe if you do not go astray,
Possible to reach a fairy tale in the fog?
