Make me a Picture of the Sun [Russian translation]

Make me a picture of the sun –

So I can hang it in my room –

And make believe I’m getting warm

When others call it „Day”!

Draw me a Robin – on a stem –

So I am hearing him, I’ll dream,

And when the Orchards stop their tune –

Put my pretense – away –

Say if it’s really – warm at noon –

Whether it’s Buttercups – that „skim” –

Or Butterflies – that „bloom”?

Then – skip – the frost – upon the lea –

And skip the Russet – on the tree –

Let’s play those – never come!
