about

Through faintly breathing leaves
The black wind rustles,
And a quivering swallow
Draws a circle in the darkened sky.

There is a quiet argument
In my tender dying heart
Between the approaching twilight
And the fading ray of light.

And over the evening forest
A bronze moon has risen;
Why is there so little music
And such silence?

Osip Mandelstam (1891 - 1938)
