Poem of the day

med_cat: (Hourglass)
Как птицы, скачут и бегут, как мыши,
Сухие листья кленов и берез,
С ветвей срываясь, устилают крыши,
Пока их ветер дальше не унес.

Осенний сад не помнит, увядая,
Что в огненной листве погребена
Такая звонкая, такая молодая,
Еще совсем недавняя весна,

Что эти листья - летняя прохлада,
Струившая зеленоватый свет...
Как хорошо, что у деревьев сада
О прошлых днях воспоминанья нет.

(Marshak)

They leap like birds and run like mice,
The dry leaves of maples and birches,
Flying off the branches, they line the roofs,
Until the wind carries them further away.

The autumn garden, wilting, does not remember
That in the flaming foliage is buried
Such a ringing, such a young,
Such a very recent spring.

That these leaves were summer coolness,
Which emitted a green-tinged light...
How good it is that the trees in the garden
Have no memories of days gone by.

(Marshak)
