Руперт Брук (Rupert Chawner Brooke) Текст оригинала на английском языке Waikiki Warm perfumes like a breath from vine and tree Drift down the darkness. Plangent, hidden from eyes, Somewhere an _eukaleli_ thrills and cries And stabs with pain the night's brown savagery. And dark scents whisper; and dim waves creep to me, Gleam like a woman's hair, stretch out, and rise; And new stars burn into the ancient skies, Over the murmurous soft Hawaian sea. And I recall, lose, grasp, forget again, And still remember, a tale I have heard, or known An empty tale, of idleness and pain, Of two that loved--or did not love--and one Whose perplexed heart did evil, foolishly, A long while since, and by some other sea. WAIKIKI, 1913 |
