Poppies - cornflower bouquet

Live. Do not complain, not numbers      any years past, no planets,       and slender merge thoughts      in response to a single: there is no death.      Be merciful. Samuel is not required.      All gratefully cherish.      Pray - cloudless sky      and cornflowers in the undulating rye.      Do not despise dreams experienced,       try the best to create.      In birds, trembling and small,       Learn, learn to bless!                                                                Vladimir Nabokov
