I have forgotten the weather of childhood,  
The warm wind, the soft snow.  
On this earth, I suppose, there is no means  
To give me back my childhood.

And so little remains  
In my poor memory:  
Cornflower roads  
In the red sun of childhood days,

The smell of the sorrel berry,  
Of juniper bushes,  
And of fragrant, like a hospital,  
Drying flowers.

All this I carry with me  
And love it in any country.  
With this I shall soothe my heart  
If I should feel bitter.

**Varlam Shalamov**
