Ladoga lake
No, I wasn't at Stalingrad.
I died in Leningrad.
You were riding a sled
over frozen Ladoga lake
with food and medical supplies.
German airplane found you out
and he aimed well.
You died there, too.
So much needed food
never came.
No, you couldn't be
at Ladoga lake
in the time of blockade.
Were you waiting in the line
for food,
or was everything well
organized?
Did you hide in the shelter,
when the raids came?
Of course.
You couldn't be at Ladoga lake,
when I died from cold
and hunger
in Leningrad.
You were too young.
