In a shabby red-bound .... Marina Tsvetaeva. Artist Juan Mir



From paradise plaguing children
You're sending me a farewell greetings,
Not change friends
In a shabby, red binding.



A little easier to learn a lesson,
Run one hour the same to you, happened,
- It's late! - Mom, ten lines! ...-
But, fortunately, my mother forgot.
Trembling on the chandeliers lights ...
How good a book at home!
Under Grieg, Schumann and Cui
I learned the fate of Tom.



Darkens, the air is fresh ...
Tom happiness with Becky full of faith.
Here with a torch Injun Joe
Wandering in the darkness of the cave ...
Cemetery ... Prophetic hoot of an owl ....
(I'm scared!) Here is flying through the bumps
Adoptee prim widow,
Diogenes, who lives in a barrel.



Brighter than the sun's throne room,
Above the slender boy - Crown ...
Suddenly - a beggar! God! He said:
"Let me heir to the throne!"
Left in darkness, who appeared in it.
Britain's sad fate ...
- Oh, why among the red books
Again, for the lamp to stay awake?
On the golden days,
Where to look bolder and clearer heart!
On the golden names:
Gekko Finn, Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper!
Marina Tsvetaeva
