Nadezhda Obukhova. To Bilo Ranneju Vesnoj (It Was In the Beginning Of the Spring). Old Russian Romance ( - ).
It was in the early spring,
the grass was barely showing,
the stream was flowing, the air mild;
the trees were turning green;
In the early morning
the shepherd’s pipe as yet was silent,
the ferns were still tightly furled
in the pinewoods.
