Aleksa Santic Poems

And again my soul is dreaming all about you,
And my heart is bursting and longing for you,
And your infidelity is setting aside,
...

Every day so lovely, shining,
up and down, the Sultan's daughter
walked at evening by the water,
...

When pearls of dew at night are strewn
On meadow flowers in early bloom,
My bosom starts a longing tune:
...

Last night, returning from the warm hamam,
I passed by the garden of the old imam,
And lo, in the garden, in the shade of a jasmine,
...

The vast blue deep
Is asleep;
...

Stay here!… The sun that shines in a foreign place,
Will never warm you like the sun in your own;
The bread has a bitter taste there
...
