Here you will find the Poem Happiness of poet Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev

Happiness

My sailing boat, crafted of redwood, is swift,
My flute is carved out of jasper.

With water a stain is removed from the silk,
With wine ? the worries and heartache.

And if you?re the owner of swift little boat,
The wine and a beautiful woman?

What else can you ask for? In every respect,
To heavenly gods you are equal.
