71 October morning, fresh and light... October morning, fresh and light, the sun crumbled into sparkles, the birch nuzzled up to the dawn with her cheek, having sensed autumn close by. She thought of something, she looks with longing at the spruces, at the proud pines, but Autumn, with a rude and ruthless hand plucks out the yellow leaves. I pity you, it’s just too bad it came to this, following autumn - hazy winter. And anyway you threw off your scanty clothes: you could not stand to wear them in the frost! The snows come through and cover everything, like a fur coat on a young girl’s shoulders, and the frost w ill be a loyal friend to you, a gallant prince!
