DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Sielanka: A Forest Picture, and Other Stories Before the windows grew sunflowers and wild holly hocks, tall, slender, and covered with blossoms, as if with a swarm of butterflies; among the sunflowers peeped out the red heads of poppies; around the hollyhocks twined red and white sweet peas and morning-glories; close to the ground grew nasturtiums, yellow crocuses, marigolds, golden primroses, and asters, pale, because deadened and concealed from sunlight by the grayish leaves of the sun flowers, and by hollyhocks. In the enclosure, on both sides of the path leading to the house, vegetables had been planted: carrots, beets, and cabbages; farther on, in separate fields, with every breath of wind moved waves of blue flax blossoms; far ther was the dark green of potato leaves; and on the rest of the broad plain a fleece of grain changed now into a lighter, now into a darker color up to the edges of a lake which washed the plain on one Side.
