“Late August. Curtains slowly rising...
The spacious room draws twilight in
Caressing gently, tranquilizing
Seductive breeze engulfs my skin.

I struggle with the heavy eyelids
I’m half-asleep, I dream of thee.
But I can’t rest, disturbing silence
Rings in my ears and pleads to me:

“Thou shall conceive a holy child
Believe in God, He’ll show the way.”
This voice I heard, so tender, mild
Convinced my conscience, I felt gay.

I fell asleep... and in contentment,
I dreamt of stars, of warmth, of light...
I felt no feeling of resentment
My face was shinning with delight.

Believe me, Joseph! True affection
Came over me,- God’s awesome will!”
He hung his head and in dejection,
With pity thought, “thou shall not kill.”
