Agnya Barto:
«For Flowers in the Winter Forest» – «За цветами в зимний лес»

Агния Львовна Барто (1901 – 1981) русская советская поэтесса, детская писательница.
Nobody believes this
Miracle of miracles:
The maiden goes for flowers
Into the winter forest.
It is not standing green,
As in July heat,
Washed with snow,
It shines in whiteness.
But the girl laughs:
If you don’t believe me,
I can show you
A bright heather bush
Right in the snow.
In summer not appreciated,
A modest plant.
But how much fun
To see the same
Heather lights
In winter snow!
За цветами в зимний лес
Агния Барто
Никому не верится:
Чудо из чудес —
За цветами девица
Ходит в зимний лес.
Он стоит не в зелени,
Как в июльский зной,
Он, снежком побеленный,
Блещет белизной.
Но смеется девица:
— Если вам не верится,
Показать могу
Яркий кустик вереска
Прямо на снегу.
Летом он не ценится,—
Скромное растеньице.
Но зато как весело
Увидать самой
Огонечки вереска
На снегу зимой!

Wunderschön …

A poem covered by the innocence of the children who give life to its verses. In addition to being a poet, Agnya was a screenwriter for children’s films. Good Sunday to you, Olivia.

Well, I am in the South of France, the Eiffel Tower is far away. Tomorrow, I will travel back to Russia. No more croissants. The coffee in Moscow is just as good as in France, though. I enjoy eating dark Russian bread for a change.

I will tell you a secret: I do not like Paris all that much. I prefer the South of France. But most of all, I love Moscow. If you come to Moscow one day, we will eat dark Russian bread and drink Russian tea or coffee together.
