Lithuania (I) Poem by Janina Degutyte
Lithuania (I)
Rain waiting happiness a lily
sweet linden scant -
all this fits in your name.
It is easy
to walk against the wind
for the spark
from those ancient fires
of a hundred years ago
is still alive
in us.
Springs throb
when your palm touches the earth.
A bird soars
in your sky.
Happiness is
to leave
with your name
on the lips.

I am delighted to find the above poems in my translation. They are some of my favorites. The title of the book is Janina Degutyte, Poezija/Poems Selected and translated by M.G. Slavenas Vilnius: Lithuanian Writers' Union Publishers, 2003 ISBN-9986-19-297. 292 pages. Many poems from this book float but without proper attribution. Thank you, M G Slavenas
