№ 4 What is travelling for?

What is travelling for me?
It is the shining sun, the sea;
The golden sand which look like beads;
The blue-eyed sky and tender breeze.
What do I see when close my eyes?
A milk-white ship with two red strips;
The limpid clouds at the dawn
And sun, that rises all alone…
And when the twilight falls from height.
The night appears from heaven’s gate.
I see the moon in magic light.
And stars, that sparkles at the night.
That’s what I’m looking for in dreams.
And they are my inspiring beams!
I want to see it, to behold
And travel all over the world!
