  WHITE BIRCH
  A birch became a symbol of Russia, thanks to Sergey Esenin. In his poems, a birch was associated with his native land, with the homeland, with Russian Countryside.
  « White birch»
  Just below my window
  Stands a birch-tree white,
  Under snow in winter
  Gleaming silver brightOn the fluffy branches
  Sparkling in a row
  Dangle pretty tassels
  Of the purest snow.There the birch in silence
  Slumbers all day long
  And the snow gleams brightly
  In the golden sun.
  And the dawn demurely
  Going on its rounds
  With a silver mantle
  Decks again the boughs.
