FLOWER
have You ever stood in a grove of dark,
In the spring grass, young,
to Find a simple and modest flower?
(You were one in a foreign country.)
He waited in the dewy grass
He alone bloomed...
And for you the smell of clean,
My first smell was saved.
And you rip the stalk shaky.
buttonhole gentle hand
Put, with a slow smile,
Flower, ruined you....
Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
