Virgin tower

Gone the maiden with her lover

To where thou not know

Left here only virgin tower

Lonely waiting day and night

Caspian sea is thy tears

Blue, deep and shy

How much torture thou have weathered through

Thy dream at last comes true

Wrinkled becomes my face

But years never make me old

Thy mild touch floods my memories

Across the spaces I feel thy heart

Seagulls are thy soul

Fly restlessly in my eyes

One hug will dissolve me away

Like a river flows to where thou stay

When can you free me

How long should I keep suffering

In this endless rain and snow

I am standing there

Looking out to the sea

Silently murmuring thy name

Please come back to me

Next life I won’t be the virgin tower

To prison you, my dear

But a highjacker to steal you away

处女塔是阿塞拜疆巴库市最著名的景点之一，它不仅有着悠久的历史更有缠绵哀惋的爱情故事。上面的几行文字是在一个明月之夜，在办公室加班以后途经此处返回住地时有感而作。我有许多关于它的张照片，应该说都是很美的，遗憾的是没法粘在这里和朋友们共享。
