Jaroslav Seifert Quote

A lad changed to a shrub in spring,
the shrub into a shepherd boy,
A fine hair to a lyre string,
snow into snow on hair piled high.


Transformations translated by Edward Osers - An Apple from your Lap (1933)


A lad changed to a shrub in spring, the shrub into a shepherd boy, A fine hair to a lyre string, snow into snow on hair piled high.
