   DECEPTIVE  ROAD...               
(Free translation from Russian by the author Yosef Latman)

Under  glitters of Hope
Road  deceptive, in distance black, -
At night she seems sloping,
And the wind is at your back. 

The Bivouac  flickers in the deep dark -
This   is, seem, not  far from  me
By morning, hopes are melting, as a might
Ghostly, having  lossed way, army.

Don't be trusting the night, traveler,
Don't rush the horse on the way -
In the darkness  the hopes   fragile! -
Spend the night in a sheaf of hay.

In the deep night one wrong movement -
And your  foot - for ever is in the devil's glade,
If give in to an obsession  by Moonlight red -
The circle of troubles may itself  closed  made.
