Рассеянно меня топтала,
Fate trampled me without attention,
без злости, просто между делом.
Without malice, just in passing.
Рукой махнула, перестала,
Gave up then and at last took station,
а растоптать и не успела.
But had not time to stamp out once me.
Потом слегка посовестилась
And afterwards fate felt shy slightly
и вяло оказала милость:
And had a mercy very sluggish:
подкинула с небесной кручи
That added from a heaven far beach
удачи и благополучья.
A luck and benefit so finely.
А под конец, зевнув устало,
And in the end my fate being tired
вдруг закруглилась, как сумела, -
Did wind up suddenly as managed,
несчастьями не доконала,
By accidents that me not fired,
счастливым сделать не успела.
To be me happy fate in vain did.
