1397

Шумело, словно улицы бежали,
И замерли потом –
Мы только ужас ощущали,
Накрыло тьмою дом –

Я выглянула, есть ли время –
Природа ложкой невесомой
Мешала – в фартуке опаловом –
Коктейль озонный.

1397

It sounded as if the Streets were running
And then — the Streets stood still —
Eclipse — was all we could see at the Window
And Awe — was all we could feel.

By and by — the boldest stole out of his Covert
To see if Time was there —
Nature was in an Opal Apron,
Mixing fresher Air.
