Lalla RukDearest dream, my soul's enchantment Lovely guest from heav'n above,Most benevolent attenderTo the earthly realm below,You gave me blissful satisfactionMomentary but complete:Bringing with you happy tidings - Like a herald from the skies.I dreamed dreams of life eternalIn that Promised Land of peace;I dreamed dreams of fragrant regions,Of a tranquil, sweet Kashmir;I could witness celebrations,Festivals of roses vernalHonoring that lovely maidenFrom lands strange and far away.And, with glistening enchantmentLike an angel from above, - This untainted, youthful visionCame before my dreaming eyes;Like a veil, a shining shroudScreened her lovely face from view,Tenderly she did inclineHer shy gazes toward the earth.All her traits - her timid shynessUnderneath her shining crown,Childlike her animation, And her face's noble beauty - Glowing with a depth of feeling,Sweet serenity and peace - All of these completely artlessIndescribably sublime!As I watched, the apparition(Captivating me in passing)Never to return, flew by;I pursued - but it had gone!T'was a vision merely fleeting,Transient illuminationLeaving nothing but a legendOf its passing through my life!T'is not ours to harborBeauty's spirit - Ah, so pure!It comes nigh but for a momentFrom its heavenly abode;Like a dream, it slips away, Like an airy dream of morning:But in sacred reminiscenceIt is married with the heart!Only in the purest instantsOf our life does it appearBringing with it revelationsBeneficial to our hearts;That our hearts may know of heavenIn this earthly shadow realm,It allows us momentaryGlimpses through the earthly veil.And through all that here is lovely,All that animates our lives,To our souls it speaks a languageReassuring and distinct;When it quits our earthly regionIt bestows a gift of loveGlowing in our evening heaven:"Tis a farewell star for all to see. ― Vasily Zhukovsky
