Modern Russian Poetry/"A Well, and the Cherry Trees Swaying"
"A WELL, AND THE CHERRY TREES SWAYING"
A well, and the cherry trees swaying
Where bare girlish feet trod the fruit;
Nearby the damp imprint betraying
The stamp of a heavy nailed boot.
Stilled now is the place of their meeting,
But nothing the silence avails:
In my brain passion's echo repeating
Their whispers—the splash of the pails.
