His Bill is clasped his Eye forsook by Emily Dicki
опали ниц крыла...
как мертвь перчаток цепкость лап
разжалась, холодна...
восторг, томившийся в зобу,
излиться ждавший миг,
запёкся кровью, омертвел...
Убивший птицы мир
в мой разум попранный сойдёт
пальбой на небесах
по ангелам, кто расточал
их чудный лад в твой сад...
*****************************************
His Bill is clasped -- his Eye forsook -- by Emily Dickinson
His Bill is clasped -- his Eye forsook --
His Feathers wilted low --
The Claws that clung, like lifeless Gloves
Indifferent hanging now --
The Joy that in his happy Throat
Was waiting to be poured
Gored through and through with Death, to be
Assassin of a Bird
Resembles to my outraged mind
The firing in Heaven,
On Angels -- squandering for you
Their Miracles of Tune --
