U polju i u gori bijeli krinovi procvali
Po polju i gori krin kao da nešto zbori
Po gori i dolu svaki krin
Kao da gori
I kada tiho između procvalih cvjetova
Zamišljen tako
Prolaziš
Možda kao i ja pomisliš na one koji su
Prije tebe ovuda tiho
Prolazili
Između procvalih bijelih cvjetova
Pitajući se isto tako kao i ti
Šta li su ovi bijeli
Krinovi
Da li su to nečiji klikovi
Ili
Krikovi
Znaci onih koji su nekada prolazili
I u bespućima ovim
Beznadno
Gazili
U potrazi za bijelim cvijećem
(1966)
Lilies
Emma Arsekin
In the field and in the forest, white lilies bloom
Across the field and forest, it is as if the lily is saying something
Across the mountain and valley each lily
Is as if it is burning
And when quietly between blossoming flowers
So deep in thought
You pass
Maybe like me you think of those who
Here before you quietly
Passed
Between blossoming white flowers
Wondering just like you
What are these white
Lilies
Are they someone’s clicks
Or
Shrieks
Signs of those who once passed
And in these wastelands
Hopelessly
Treaded
In search of white flowers
(1966)
