A birch

Елизавета Судьина
Wind tore the birch'es dress
 So cold at the autumn rains ...
 "Warm me" - I hear - "passer-by,
 Hug and with me - cry.

 Let's recall bygone youth
 Crimson skies at the dawn ...
 Remember how I kissed you,
 And where it all has gone..." -

 Like adhered by sorrow to birch,
 I embraced her with such a gloom -
 With you we are like friends, my girl -
 For my happiness wind stole too.
