The golden and ruddy foliage of the elm-trees and lindens made a fretted canopy over the drowsy green, through which sifted the mellow light of an Indian summer sun.
"Jane Lends A Hand"
Shirley Watkins
Spring across the fields will be returning With her silver nightingales, ere long- Through the dusky nights of silence piercing E'en thy grave with her inspiring song, And the lindens whispering, will murmur- Breathless die away, and sighing cease, But thou-slumber soft my heart's beloved, Death alone can bring eternal peace!
"Russian Lyrics"
Translated by Martha Gilbert Dickinson Bianchi
Among the flowers below awakened to fresh beauty, the bees hum loudly, plunging into the honeysuckles, and gently as if with reverence touching the pale refined beauty of the Malmaison roses, while above the acacias and lindens they are swarming.
