- From the pool of light, suddenly..., by A. S. Kline
From the pool of light, suddenly, /
you slipped out in a thin shawl — /
we disturbed no one at all, /
roused not a servant from sleep...
- From the semi-dark hall, suddenly..., by D. Smirnov-Sadovsky
From the semi-dark hall, suddenly, /
You slipped out in a weightless shawl — /
We disturbed no one, /
We did not wake the sleeping servants...
- In a light shawl, you suddenly slipped..., by Robert Tracy
In a light shawl, you suddenly slipped /
Out of the shadowed hall — /
We disturbed no one at all /
Nor woke the servants up...
- Out of a half-lit room, at once..., by Maya Jouravel
Out of a half-lit room, at once, /
Shrouded in zephyr, you dashed out ready. /
We didn’t trouble anybody, /
We did not wake up sleeping maids.
- Suddenly in a light shawl..., by David McDuff
Suddenly in a light shawl /
you slipped out of the half-darkened hall — /
we disturbed no one, /
we did not wake the sleeping servants...
