The People

P. Singayevsky (Translated from Russian by G. K. G. Joshi)

P. SINGAYEVSKY

Above all we are taught to trust the people,
They say, if there is no burden (in flight),
You knock at any door­
Your friends help there.
We knock and even if
They do not open to us everywhere,
Our souls do not grow stale,
Do not get hardened
And we do not surrender to misery.
We trust
And we trust all alike
That it will be
As we decide.
As we hasten to a new unknown town,
As we hurry to an appointment.

Translated from Russian by G. K. G. Joshi
