Peasant Life after Chagall

Feed sugar beets to the white horse,
Dance on the blue mountain,
Talk beneath the lamp
On a winter evening.

Let the little horse
Draw your grandfather up to the moon.
A kind man guides his wagon.

You are not sorry.
Your red cap and pug nose
Prepare you to tackle anything.
What do you have to know?

Only this. Let a tree grow in your mind,
Follow the footprints
Leading up to the sky. It is your life
Ahead of you.
