And thus it is hard for me to believe,
That you will come home no more.
So I always remove my hat
Before the grave of one unknown..
Final stanza of the poem “To my father” by national poet of Belarus Ryhor Baradulin (1935-2014). He wrote the poem in memory of his father, who perished in an unknown place in 1944 while fighting as a partisan against the Germans.
Паверыць цяжка мне таму,
Што больш не прыйдзеш ты дадому.
А шапку я заўжды здыму
Перад магілай невядомай..
Апошняя страфа вершу “Бацьку“ народнага паэта Беларусі Рыгора Барадуліна.
