And even a stump ...

A passer-by walked along the boulevards,
The birds sang trills about April.
Nes passerby fat black
Dear portfolio.
The man walked decorously and solidly,
Despising the bird chime.
You could see from the man's face
That he does not approve of spring

That all this spring is useless….
And no one needs the song ...
And spring water is nonsense ..
Yes! Yes! Nonsense!

The streams murmur
Rooks scream
And the snow melts, and the heart melts.
And even a stump
On an April day
She dreams of becoming a birch tree again.
A cheerful bumblebee is buzzing with spring alarm,
The perky cheerful starlings are shouting,

Starlings cry
To all ends:
"Spring is coming - the road to spring!"

Isaac Dunaevsky - Spring Is Coming (1947)
