Dining Table

How beautiful you are, table!

You let us look at one another's eyes

And taste one another's joy.  

Hands and spoons,

Bites of bread,

And sips of water,

And the sound of friendship of glasses.  

Round table,

I swear by your bread and salt,

That eating and drinking at your circle

Is the most beautiful moment of our meeting.
