And night and day
And every other August
To write about tears
Thicker than flood  

About the dew of heaven
Dry and pale
And dusty road -
To an abandoned dale

A village full of empty cabins
A thirsty lake by wilted woods
And how in sick and sour language
The pines gossip of offence

About the pain of withered puddles
On the edges of Tatiana's eyes
About thoughts and thoughts again
About you, and then

Tatiana - the heroine of Alexander Pushkin's book
Yevgeny Onegin
who suffers from unrequited love.
