1916

May snow

A see-through shroud now disperses

And melts unnoticed on the sod.

The spring, so very cold and merciless,

Is killing off each swelling bud.

So frightful of the early death,

That I can’t look at God’s creation.

I feel the grief King David left, -

Millenniums of desolation.

1916

***

Зачем притворяешься ты

То ветром, то камнем, то птицей?

Зачем улыбаешься ты

Мне с неба внезапной зарницей?
