Слушать(AI)Summer in the South
The Oriole sings in the greening grove As if he were half-way waiting,
The rosebuds peep from their hoods of green,
Timid, and hesitating.

Streams laugh that erst were quiet,
The sky smiles down with a dazzling blue And the woods run mad with riot.
Paul Laurence Dunbar
