Langston Hughes (1902–1963)

PASSING LOVE

Because you are to me a song
I must not sing you over-long.

Because you are to me a prayer
I cannot say you everywhere.

Because you are to me a rose –
You will not stay when summer goes.


Лэнгстон Хьюз

ПРОЩАЙ, ЛЮБОВЬ

Как песня, ты волнуешь грудь…
Не без конца ж мотив тянуть!

Молитва ты… Лишь идиот
Всю жизнь с коленок не встаёт.

Ты роза… Но прошло и лето.
Перекрестимся. Песня спета.
