Богатство
Богатства кроме мыслей нет,
Но их вполне хватает мне;
Они из золотых монет,
Отлитых в память о тебе.
На песни их потрачу я,
Ведь мысли, золото должны,
Покинув тщетность бытия,
В бессмертьи быть сохранены.
Riches
by Sara Teasdale
I have no riches but my thoughts,
Yet these are wealth enough for me;
My thoughts of you are golden coins
Stamped in the mint of memory;
And I must spend them all in song,
For thoughts, as well as gold, must be
Left on the hither side of death
To gain their immortality.
