Love Poem: The Charm of Toksovo

The Charm of Toksovo

Toksovo is the place near Saint-Petersburg, Russia

When the Luminary was in the sunset,
On the hill top, in summer, in the old house,
We were drinking usually evening tea -
I was a guest on that large veranda.

We were sitting at the table, talking quietly,
With friendly feelings in the hearts,
The lake beneath and nature gave the double kindness -
The place of Toksovo was blessed for us.
