Three Poems. ii. StormFlorence Randal Livesay (1874–1953)
Translated from the Ukrainian of Fedkovich
‘H
From Yuha!
See how the dark cloud grows!
What wrath it brings!…
But when, who knows,
O villagers of Yuha,
Will it dry
Your bleeding wounds?
Ah, when…?’
O Villager of Yuha?’
‘Still it is I.
Cleansèd, my wounds
All healèd lie.’
