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.

1. So She Came Back
2. When You, That at This Moment
3. Lord Archer, Death
4. The Last White Sawdust
5. Memory of Cape Cod
