К Мэри Шелли | Мир туманный угрюм | Мир туманный угрюм

Translation by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

To Mary Shelley

Language: English

The world is dreary,
And I am weary
Of wandering on without thee, Mary;
A joy was erewhile
In thy voice and thy smile,
And 'tis gone, when I should be gone too, Mary.
