 Я сердце вверх приподниму,
Как май — ромашку под дождём.
Прекрасной чашей быть ему,
Хотя лишь мука в нём.

Цветы научат, как придать
Окраску капле дождевой,
Чтобы из вина невзгод создать
Огонь живой.

Сара Тисдейл, пер. Deilf



Alchemy

I lift my heart as spring lifts up
A yellow daisy to the rain;
My heart will be a lovely cup
Altho' it holds but pain.

For I shall learn from flower and leaf
That color every drop they hold,
To change the lifeless wine of grief
To living gold.

Sarah Teasdale

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
