*This is another one of my many translations from Russian poetry. The original was written by Boris Pasternak and appeared in his novel, Dr. Zhivago.

Hop

Under a broom, entwined by ivy,
From rain, we’re hiding for the time.
A cloak protects our shoulders slightly,
My arms around you are entwined.
I’m wrong. Around these thicket shrubs
Not ivy, but green hop has widened.
So, should we spread this cloak, perhaps,
Over the grass, for us to lie on?

This is a beautiful translation, my friend. It always amazes me how you can take something from the Russian and make it into such beautiful English. Thank you for sharing it with us.
