Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

Dust

When I went to look at what had long been hidden,
A jewel laid long ago in a secret place,
I trembled, for I thought to see its dark deep fire--
But only a pinch of dust blew up in my face.

I almost gave my life long ago for a thing
That has gone to dust now, stinging my eyes--
It is strange how often a heart must be broken
Before the years can make it wise.


Сара Тисдейл

Прах

Свет рубина, пыль и сумрак подвала –
Много лет вину… и мне не семнадцать.
А хлебнула – так в носу защипало,
Что полночи не могла проморгаться.

Что таит для нас заветная дверца –
Слёзы горькие да горькие мысли?
Много ль радости от мудрости сердца,
Коли души безвозвратно прокисли?
