Vasily Ledkov The loon cries The loon cries, cries and cries... Who has brought her sorrow? Apparently, the bird could have nothing else But sadness and tears. The lark’s song is not so: There, in the blue depths, He quivers, all day long, unceasingly, Like a little gold bell. The oriole sings, and in the willow grove All stems ring. The loon cries... And with the flourish o f grief A storm cloud lies across the sky. Lightning flashes off the aspen branches, Shakes them, as if splitting wood. Thunder, gathering its angry strength, Shakes the earth, like a puppy. The heart becomes troubled Filled with the fumes o f carefree days. And I recall the loon’s sobbing- Which warned me.
