Our translations: FRE
Några sista stjärnor lysa matt. Jag ser dem ur mitt fönster. Himlen är blek, man anar knappast dagen som börjar i fjärran. Det vilar en tystnad utbredd över sjön, det ligger en viskning på lur mellan träden, min gamla trädgård lyssnar halvförstrött till nattens andetag, som susa över vägen.
