O lovely Rita

Артур Кондраков
        Who said, there isn't a winter garden?
        I saw  it  when I tried  to  gaze.
        Although my glance was very sudden
        The garden's left me in a daze.
    
    
        The dears walking on the ground
        Each other teasing in a game
        And flowers blossoming around
        Bore a specific soul's flame.
       
      
        Soft waves of jolly gusty wind
        Were pulling jokingly my hair.
        The slender trees of tamarind
        Enjoyed their dancing with the air.
       
    
        Hey,look! Fantastic lake of dew
        Where bushes of reed hide kissing swans.
        Here tiny paths look like new
        And skys - like misty summer dawns...
    
    
P.S. The frost was strong, the mood was merry.
        I couldn't expect in town of Peter
        To find in winter honeyed cherry.
        Thanks for your help, oh lovely Rita!
