July is the top of summer, - The newspaper reminded, But before all the newspapers - The daylight is waning; But before this little one, The most secret of signs, - Cuckoo, cuckoo, - the top, - The cuckoo tapped out Its farewell greeting. And from the linden blossom Consider that the song is sung, Consider that half the summer is gone, - July is the top of summer. / A. Tvardovsky
