Winter turns to spring,
the first primroses are on the roadside. Although I can see snow
on the hills, and an icy wind continues to blow, each day is a
little longer than its yesterday, and there is some warmth in
the sun. I have caught a chill from digging in the garden under
that north wind, but I am sure it will pass in a day or two.
I have a friend who has been through a much harder winter. For
her one icy storm has followed another, her winter so profound
as to seem never-ending. But spring will come in her country too.
at last the sun climbs
in the eastern sky —
a steady drip of thaw
Zimu je smenilo proleće, prve jagorčevine nikle uz
put. Iako mogu da vidim sneg na brdima i ledeno hladni vetar i
dalje duva, svaki dan je pomalo duži od prethodnog i ima
sunčeve topline. Prehladio sam se radeći naporno u bašti
uz taj severni vetar, ali sam siguran da će i to proći
za dan-dva.
Imam prijateljicu, koja je mnogo gore prošla ove zime. Kod
nje su se smenjivale ledene oluje jedna za drugom, beskrajna zima,
koja kao da nema kraja. Ali će proleće stići i
u njenu zemlju.
najzad se sunce penje
na istoku —
počinje topljenje
