I SAID TO THE CUCKOO: 'TILL I DIE' by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO

Poet Analysis

Last Line: ON MY BURNING FACE.
I SAID to the cuckoo: "Till I die
Tell me how many years must pass!"
Pines were waving in the sky,
Yellow light fell on the grass.
Came no answer: all was still
In that leafy place.
As I walked home the wind blew chill
On my burning face.
