eller vacklande pÄ vÄgor
som lÄngt innan de ha mörknat
spegla morgonsolens lÄgor. -

Juninatt blir aldrig av,
liknar mest en daggig dag.
Slöjlikt lyfter sig dess skymning
och bÀrs bort pÄ ljusa hav. -

Just now the sun will barely set
only dims its glow.
Twilight turns to hour of dawn
neither early nor late. -

The inland sea holds the evening인터넷바카라s light
gliding on the water인터넷바카라s surface
or stumbling on the waves which
long before they darken,
reflect the flames of morning sun. -
The June night never comes around
mainly feels like a dewy day.
Like a veil, its twilight rises
to be carried away on shining seas. -
