Dedicated To Wendy Macdonald From Australia
2. There is Autumn
in the Australia, in the Russia
----------------------------------
The red-haired Autumn has come to Russia.
She has painted all the leaves
of the trees
with gold colour.
The Wind and the Rain love her very much.
She dances the Parting Waltz
With them both.
At just this time, leaves
are departing from their trees.
They are beginning their own dance,
named «Fall of the Leaf».
Then Autumn is singing
her lullaby-song
for orphaned trees,
for stray dogs and cats,
for the damp rain,
for the sparrows and crows,
And for the frozen earth, too.
Autumn is singing her lullaby-song
about the tropical, hot country, Australia
Where there are eucalyptus,
And fern forests, the Pacific ocean,
And the mysterious mountains.
In this magic country live kind, funny friends:
Kangaroos, Koalas, Cockatoos, and Emu.
Now they are dreaming about Russian Autumn:
in her corona from yellow leaves,
in her red rowan’s beads,
and with her favourite friends:
with wind, and sorrowful rain.
