O Japanese Silence
O Japanese Silence
O Japanese silence,
O Japanese peace!
I see my ancient homeland
smiling inside your eyes.
O flood me with glowing joy
of all your rivers and streams,
O fill me with golden light
of your unclouded skies,
Serenity’s beauty and grace
and boundless happiness-smile!
– Karpani Tsybenko.
