Горлиця - Арт Вікторія

Turtledove

Thank you, August, for your warmth,

For a cool evening and gifts,

For ripe apples and fragrant pears,

For honey and plums, and for fateful kisses.

And I sincerely thank you,

That you woke me up in the morning with a dove,

And there are swallows in the sky above me

Chirping a song at dawn.

Mom's kiss... warm pies...

I will pluck a mint leaf with it.

The aroma of hostas and violets

I will remember you, August.

(V. Davydova 2020)
