Начало мая

Strews a May rain, – sickly, –
On a slope which has grown with wood,
Shout ravens is audible – hoarse,
Wind noise; it is similar to groan –

Scratch of trunks, – pine, – harmonous,
Like – masts – from the ships.
Is not present – passers-by, – strangers,
No, truth, and friends …

Loneliness, – a vice, –
Strong for a hand takes,
Unfamiliar ways –
In a thicket dark conducts.

There, among branches prickly,
Among pines and birches,
Among eternal secrets, – mighty, –
Will of ladies – to floods of tears.
