by Harold Flammer ( flourished 1916 )
Two Folk‑songs of Little Russia
Language: English
Blow, thou wintry wind! Thy mighty blasts the trees are swaying; Though my heart with grief is bursting, Tears of sorrow I am staying. See the hut of my good neighbor, All the luck is in his favor, And his wife is gay and lovely; I have no one near to love me! See, my neighbor now is sowing, And his garden will be growing; I have not had time for sowing, And my garden won't be growing! Blow, thou wintry wind!...
