I shouted from the cliff,
Space answered me
But when he heard the sound I was looking around:
How, where this sound come from?
Was the same rock or different,
There is response, but the response is empty.
I have a great,
Wide kin,
No reason to be alone,
Great family, but I was not understood
And I live alone among,
As the tomb of the shaman, I am alone - that's my truth!
Abay Kunanbayev [Ibrahim (Abai) Qunanbaiūly] (1845 - 1904) Kazakhstan
