Priit Pärn
The Slumbering Youth
1984
In Tapa lies a railway hub,
in Tallinn, Toompea’s rising slope;
and Europe still remains disturbed:
quietly burn all those
who dare to draw their own line –
and when, one day,
the Inquisition breaks,
then waiting for you, dear Priit,
and not for rhyme’s own sake,
a vast and towering stake –
we all shall warm in your bright heat!
