               SNOW  IS  FALLING...
(Free translation from Russian by the author Yosef Latman)

Snow is falling... Snowflakes weightless ,
white as  fluff  poplars', covered the steppes... 
Peace and quiet...  Not a blade of  grass...               
Wind, coming, having  pleaded guilty, tries
is repenting  morning:  in that he is at  deaf night,
in  kingdom of  Peace and quiet,  with  his  all  might
by shouts and impulses, and whistle,
blinding the willows with snow prickly,
has been  tearing  off them shawls and necklaces,               
at times bringing them to strong stresses.

Poor willows!   What do you want from them, cold wind?!..-
And without you they cry, as in life's dark  days.
But look! With the bustle  night's, behind the ravine,
And  your happiness  can  to gallop off into  darkness..

No one can't hold him back by shouting and whistling
Or by crying of an offended willow,
Or  having  lured him by a trinket-necklaces, or
Playing him  by flattering speeches along, with cunning.
