Three Poems. ii. Storm

Florence Randal Livesay (1874–1953)

Translated from the Ukrainian of Fedkovich

‘HOW it blows

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…?’

‘Is it you, still,

O Villager of Yuha?’

‘Still it is I.

Cleansèd, my wounds

All healèd lie.’
