Слушать(AI)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.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
