The birch-tree grove

               

      Once in summer, tired to rove,
      I went to Mirgorod for honey
      And strolling in its suburb sunny
      Called on alone birch-tree grove.
      It was a small fairy-tale,
      White trunks were smart as the fiancees
      To fly in whirls of wedding dances
      On daisy carpet with web veil.
      Horol there round kept to wind,
      With faint breeze it being ruffled,
      High reed on islands slowly rustled
      And all was filled with smell of mint.
      The stuffy day was almost over,
      Pink-silver light has lain down
      On tops of trees as if the crown
      And painted stacks among the clover.
      White horse was grazing with her foal,
      The rooster crew beyond the river,
      I was long looking at pink silver
      To keep this marvel in my soul.
