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.
