Detachment

(1971)  Ananderi ei nimantrane

At this invitation to happiness only,
Why do you sit alone and weep?
You're like a bloom swollen with heart's feelings,
Not having mingled with everybody.

In festivity everyone is passionate,
Ocean waves in a dance that's rapid.
They're atoms and molecules in thought restive;
Far removed, for Whom are you hoping?

There's no need to be morose;
The Maker of the Cosmos is also your own.
Smiling sweetly only He is the kindest soul;
Know that He loves also thee.
