Summer cottage - poem

This is a house that smells of melons and roses

And the sea wind pours through it

And the light curtains

Are always floating

And the airy sprays

Of the sea-lavender

Tremble on the table

And a hushed roar

From the massive ocean

Covers us night and day

It shelters us

Like a tree shadow

We live in it

As in a forest.
