I would be happy to share with you

I would be happy to share with you

That a little I have just for you.

All my palaces, temples and mosques

Treasures of family – the family portraits.

Some of them are in castle in Alupka:

The fountain– it was described by San Pushkin,

Gauchi drew there all pavilions,

Tonc(h)i – portrait: “In exile. Dashkovs“

Foyatier sculptured not only the models:

Smiles of lips, calls for kisses of godkids.

In coats of arms one can see cross and crown.

Funny lions there’re made of light stones.

And Field Marschal – his Seréne Highness Prince

Was installed in sixty seven* in Tiflis.

How can I prove all organical bonds

Learnt from pictures all features'f my Romes?
