Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)


* * *


Upon the road of my life,
Passed me many fair creatures,
Clothed all in white, and radiant.
To one, finally, I made speech:
”Who art thou?”
But she, like the others,
Kept cowled her face,
And answered in haste, anxiously,
”I am good deed, forsooth;
You have often seen me.”
”Not uncowled,” I made reply.
And with rash and strong hand,
Though she resisted,
I drew away the veil
And gazed at the features of vanity.
She, shamefaced, went on;
And after I had mused a time,
I said of myself,
”Fool!”



Stephen Crane's other poems:
  1. A man went before a strange God
  2. Tell brave deeds of war
  3. A little ink more or less!
  4. There was set before me a mighty hill
  5. Once a man clambering to the housetops
