The Light Moscow Rain
written by Osip Mandelstam
From "The Poems 1921-1925". Translated from Russian by Dmitri Smirnov. In English: Московский дождик (Мандельштам) Link to further information




The Light Moscow Rain

It gives away so scantily
Its weak sparrow chill –
A little to us, a little to the trees,
A little to the cherries on a tray.

And in the darkness the boiling grows –
A light fuss of tea leaves,
Like an airy ant-hill
Feasting in the dark verdures.

The vineyard of the fresh drops
Is stirring in the meadow:
As if the nest of the cold
Was appeared in web-footed Moscow.
