Edna St. Vincent Millay (Эдна Сент-Винсент Миллей)

City Trees

THE trees along this city street
    Save for the traffic and the trains, 
Would make a sound as thin and sweet
    As trees in country lanes.

And people standing in their shade
    Out of a shower, undoubtedly 
Would hear such music as is made
    Upon a country tree.

Oh, little leaves that are so dumb
    Against the shrieking city air, 
I watch you when the wind has come,--
    I know what sound is there.
