Seasons

Just look at the picture - isn't it nice?
Look at the Sun just beginning to rise.
There is no reason looking again-
You've already noticed a hard-working man.

He's in his garden, digging the ground.
He long had been searching for what he then found.
Oh, great expectations – bitter and sweet!
Get ready in autumn hoarse-radish and beet.


Now we're in an office - silence and gloom!
And I invite you to enter this room
To look at the man who can all day long
Quietly stare at that hole in the wall.

This noble man is preparing a plan
Thinking it over and over again.
Let’s hope he'll invent some marvelous thing -
Wonderful projects get ready in spring!


There is a feeling dear to us,
In summer and winter it easily comes,
As well in the seasons mentioned above.
The name of the feeling is…?
– certainly, l---!
