“When there is a home on every star,

when there is nowhere where we are lonely —

still, Earth will be our home,

nothing can change that;

because the land of the Soviets is here,

because this is where Lenin was born.”

- Arn Vergelis, from “Af der levone” (“On the Moon”) in Kosmishe Poeme, a cycle of space-themed poetry appearing in the March-April 1962 issue of Sovetish Heymland.
