Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFEF GHIJ KLKM KFKF NFNFIn Spasskoe unforgettable September sheds its leaves | A |
Isn t it time to close up the summer house | B |
Echo traps the thudding of axe blows in the trees | C |

Last night the marsh by the park shivered too | E |
The moment the sun rises it vanishes | F |
The bluebell can t drink the rheumatic dew | E |
and a dirty lilac stain soils the birches | F |

The wood s downcast It wants to sleep as well | G |
under the snow in the deep quiet of the bear s den | H |
The park gaping framed by tree trunks stands still | I |
in neat obituary columns its edges blackened | J |
- | |
Has the birch copse stopped fading staining | K |
its shade more watery still and growing thin | L |
And again you re fifteen it s still complaining | K |
again oh child oh what shall we do with them | M |

They re already so many it s time to stop playing | K |
They re birds in the bushes mushrooms in the trees | F |
Already we ve veiled our horizon with them shrouding | K |
each other s landscape with fog bound mysteries | F |
- | |
The comic on the night of his death typhus stricken | N |
hears a peal it s Homeric laughter from the box | F |
Today in Spasskoe the same grief in hallucination | N |
stares from the road at a house of weathered logs | F |
