If you did not know that He is watching you,If you were not certain of the breathing of the starsBehind the great clouds,If you did not hear His waiting smileBehind the strings of rain,How would you warm your nightsHow would you walk for so longOutside the walls where sproutThorns and nettles,Around an endlessly tall towerThat has no windows,That has neither gate nor stairs?

Translated from Greek by Pilo Zyba
