Луна и Туман

Our translations:  CHI
Озеро дышит тёплым туманом...
Он мутен и нежен, как сладкий обман.
Борется небо с земным обманом:
Луна, весь до дна, прорезает туман.

Я, как и люди, дышу туманом.
Мне близок, мне сладок уютный обман.
Только душа не живёт обманом --
Она, как луна, проницает туман.
