Oratorio autumn .... The artist Joan Elliott

(clickable image)


Early autumn. The leaves are falling.
Carefully step into the grass.
Each sheet - a muzzle fox ...
This is the land on which I live.

Fox quarrel, foxes yearn,
foxes celebrate, cry, sing,
and when they lit a pipe,
means - a rain soon will pour.

The trunks runs combustion
and trunks disappear in the moat.
Each barrel - a body of a deer ...
This is the land on which I live.

Red oak with blue horns
waiting for an opponent of silence ...
Caution: ax under his feet!
And way back burned!

... But in the woods, at the entrance of the pine,
someone believes in him awake ...
Nothing to be done: nature!
This is the land on which I live.
Bulat Okudzhava
