Part II. Blank verse
Cloud-drift
Оглавление1. I see from the window how does the cloud drift
It’s very beautiful this white-headed
And wise wanderer. Where is going it?
Where the friends are, why single way you keep?
2. Today the sky is quiet and blue,
And nobody does threaten you.
Dark clouds can’t hit the little one.
But you are a daredevil, if single come.
3. In the sky are many surprises,
Too little are you, don’t know there what is
Sometimes thunderstorm or storm,
The lightning cuts the black clouds. Along!…
4. For people sings the sky in warning
Menacing thunder tell about something.
You may be know the mother tongue, —
You are born in the sky, and must tell in a manner fine.
5. Perhaps you came for special talk
And looked in window mine. What you spoke?
Who sent you, addressee who?
If tired are, stop. I will talk with you.
6. I never talked in my life
With clouds, never thought in my mind
About wanderers in the sky…
I’m sorry! Great mistake it’s mine.
7. You pass so often day and night,
And always silently you say. Your silence – wise.
Is able who to keep silent, he is sage.
All people must listen, the wisdom to catch.
8. In silence can we hear many thoughts,
Which does send for us the grand sky, of many sorts.
But always does say about weather fine
How very much it is loving – for people to shine.
9. When weather is awful, the clouds dark,
Then people must be very kind.
If never hit they on the earth anything
The sky forgives them, puts a stopper?
10. Where do you come from my new thoughts,
Perhaps brought by new wind and grow,
Or may be said this little cloud
Something about happy love…
Repeat to me aloud!
