Сад любви. Из английской романтической поэзии

Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.

Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,

So haggard and so woebegone?
The squirrel’s granary is full,
And the harvest’s done.

I see a lily on thy brow,

With anguish moist and fever dew,
And on thy cheeks a fading rose
Fast withereth too.

I met a lady in the meads,

Full beautiful – a faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.

I made a garland for her head,

And bracelets too, and fragrant zone;
She looked at me as she did love,
And made sweet moan.

I set her on my pacing steed,

And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery’s song.

She found me roots of relish sweet,

And honey wild, and manna dew,
And sure in language strange she said —
‘I love thee true’.

She took me to her elfin grot,

And there she wept and sighed full sore,
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
With kisses four.

And there she lullèd me asleep

And there I dreamed – Ah! woe betide! —
The latest dream I ever dreamt
On the cold hillside.

I saw pale kings and princes too,

Pale warriors, death-pale were they all;
They cried – ‘La Belle Dame sans Merci
Hath thee in thrall!’

I saw their starved lips in the gloam,

With horrid warning gapèd wide,
And I awoke and found me here,
On the cold hill’s side.

And this is why I sojourn here

Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.

John Keats

A PERFECT WOMAN (Совершенная женщина)

She was a Phantom of delight (она была призраком отрады/наслаждения; phantom ['fæntəm] – призрак)

When first she gleam’d upon my sight (когда она впервые блеснула перед моим взором; to gleam – мерцать, светиться /часто: отраженным светом/);

A lovely Apparition, sent (восхитительное явление, посланное; apparition [ˌæp(ə)'rɪʃ(ə)n] – появление, явление; видение, призрак; to send)

To be a moment’s ornament (чтобы быть украшением мгновения; ornament ['ɔ:nəmənt] – украшение, орнамент);

Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair (ее глаза – как звезды ясных сумерек; twilight ['twaɪlaɪt] – сумерки; полумрак, сумрак);

Like Twilight’s, too, her dusky hair (подобны сумеркам также ее темные волосы; dusky – темный, темноватый; тусклый, неясный; слабо освещенный; сумеречный; тенистый; dusk – сумерки; полумрак, сумрак);

But all things else about her drawn (но все остальные вещи, начерченные в ее облике; drawn – нарисованный; начерченный; to draw – рисовать; чертить)

From May-time and the cheerful Dawn (от майского времени и веселой зари; dawn – рассвет, утренняя заря);

A dancing Shape, an Image gay (танцующая фигура, веселый образ),
