The shivering in hands has gone,
Right now - to the top!
The fear fell into the precipice
Forever, forever.

There are no reasons for me to stop,
I walk, sliding.
And the world has no peaks
That one can’t conquer.

Amidst the untrodden paths,
One way - let it be mine.
Amidst the untaken frontiers,
One lies behind me.

And yet the snow melts the names
Of those who died here.
Amidst the untrodden roads -
Just one is mine.

Here the entire mountain slope
Shines blue with ice.
And the granite quietly stores
The secret of someone’s tracks.

And I am looking at my dream
Above all heads,
And sacredly I believe in purity
Of snow and words.

But let the short term now pass,
I won’t forget
How I could kill doubts in myself
In this great place.

That day the water whispered to me:
Have luck, my friend!"
And what day was then?
Oh, yes, Wednesday!
