Home Thoughts, From Abroad В Англии весной

Oh, to be in England

Now that April’ s there,

And whoever wakes in England

Sees, some morning, unaware,

That the lowest boughs and the brush-wood she

Round the elm-tree pole are in tiny leaf.

While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough

In England – now!

Robert Browning

Быть сегодня в Англии –

В этот день апреля!

Хорошо проснуться в Англии

И увидеть, встав с постели,

Влажные ветви на вязах и кленах,

В маленьких, клейких листочках зеленых

Слышать, как зяблик щебечет в саду

В Англии – в этом году!

С. Я. Маршак
