SNOW

Won`t the snow come down from the sky

like a shining white angel

at least once

to whiten the iron gutters,

to cover the asphalt boulevards?

– I dont`t think it will.

In this city, black as charcoal,

the winter will probably be back, too,

and we shall never know the angels and the snow.

And if the snow does come one day

policemen and prostitutes

will trample it, ruthless, cruel, beneath their shoes,

and the smoke from railway stations and chimneys

will blacken its white feathers. . .

There will be white snow only in gardens

where children have played.*

1929
