Do not elude — I will not sue
For your heart pain, nor secret worrying,
I want to plunge myself in mourning
And to repeat that I love you.
It is suffice for me to fly
To you like waves run by the water —
To kiss cold granite I have gotten,
To kiss and after that to die.
Не избегай; я не молю
Ни слез, ни сердца тайной боли,
Своей тоске хочу я воли; —
И повторять тебе: люблю.
Хочу нестись к тебе, лететь,
Как волны по равнине водной,
Поцеловать гранит холодной,
Поцеловать и умереть.

«Snow is still white in the fields / but spring is in the water's voice. / Running, the waters wake the sleepy banks. / They run, they glisten, they rejoice. "Spring is coming, spring is coming!" / in every direction they shout. / "We're the young spring's runners, / with the news she ha...»
«1 Be manly, my friends, in the fight do not tire. / The struggleТs unequal, the conflict is dire! / Silent above you — the stars in the sky. / Beneath you are graves. Just as silent they lie. Olympus leaves gods not a thing to desire. / Eternally carefree, from work they donТt tire. ...»
