Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev - " Nature is not as you imagine her..."
Work rating: Low

** * 
Nature is not as you imagine her: 
She`s not a mold, nor yet a soulless mask-
 She is made up of soul and freedom
 She is made up of love and speech . . . 
................ 
Observe the leaves and flowers on a tree: 
Was it some gardener glued them there? 
And is a growing child in the womb 
The work of alien, external forces? . . .
 ................ 
They do not see and do not hear 
They live in this world as if in darkness, 
For them, it seems, the stars don`t breathe 
And ocean waves are not alive. 
The sun`s rays have not reached their soul, 
Spring`s never bloomed within their breast, 
The forest does not speak to them 
And starry nights are always mute! 
And, roiling woods and rivers 
With unearthly speech, 
No storm`s engaged them in the night 
In friendly conversation! 
They`re not to blame: how can the deaf 
Perceive an organ`s sound! 
Alas, their souls can not be touched 
Not even by a mother`s voice!
