Light of the Day

Aðalsteinn Ásberg Sigurðsson

Á YSTU STRÖND / ON THE FARTHEST SHORE

Hingað kom ég aðeins
í ljósum draumi
langa sumarnótt
með söng á vörum.

Á ystu strönd
yfirgefið hús
limfagurt lauftré.
Handan fjarðar
skóglaus skýjalöndin.

Ferðinni heitið
inn í rökkursögu
þar sem ævintýratréð
ber sjaldgæfan ávöxt
einfalda, dýrmæta kyrrð.

Here I´ve only been
in a bright dream
one long summer night
with a song on my lips.

On the farthest shore
a deserted farm
a leafy, fine-branched tree.
Across the fjord
the woodless lands of cloud.

The journey is bound
for a twilight story
where the fairutale tree
bears a rare fruit
a simple, percious silence.
