Novel in verse

Not thinking of diverting the proud world,
Loving the attention of friendship,
I would like to present to you
a Pledge worthy of you,
Worthy of a beautiful soul,
Holy dreams fulfilled,
Poetry alive and clear,
High thoughts and simplicity;
But so be it – with a biased hand
Accept a collection of colorful chapters,
Half-funny, half-sad,
Folkish, ideal,
The negligent fruit of my amusements,
Insomnia, light inspirations,
Immature and withered years,
The mind of cold observations
And the heart of sorrowful remarks.
