I AM STILL THY LOVER TRUE :: Я ДЛЯ ТЕБЯ ДЫШАЛ И ЖИЛ

Пользуясь предлогом ( уже привычного праздника влюбленных ), предлагаю вниманию моих читателей несколько поэтических шедевров, некоторые из которых  знамениты, некоторые не слишком известны у нас в стране, но любимы мною - надеюсь, и вы их любите...

SUMMUM BONUM

All the breath and the bloom of the year
In the bag of one bee
All the wonder and wealth of the mine
In the heart of one gem
In the core of one pearl all the shade
And the shine of the sea
Breath and bloom, shade and shine, wonder, wealth,
And how far above them
Truth that's brighter than gem
Trust that's purer than pearl,
Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe
All were for me
In the kiss of one girl.

GREENSLEEVES

Green sleeves, you’re all alone,
The leaves have fallen, the men have gone.
Green sleeves, there’s no one home,
Not even the lady green sleeves

I sang my songs, I told my lies,
To lie between your matchless thighs.
And ain’t it fine, ain’t it wild
To finally end our exercise
Then I saw you naked in the early dawn,
Oh, I hoped you would be someone new.
I reached for you but you were gone,
So lady I’m going too.

Green sleeves, you’re all alone ...
