Я смех любови первой
Дала. И плач - второй.
Дала молчанье третьей -
Оно всегда со мной.
Одна дала мне пенье,
Вторая - взгляд во вне.
Но эта, третья, душу
Мою вручила мне.
С англ.

Gifts
I gave my first love laughter,
I gave my second tears,
I gave my third love silence
Through all the years.
My first love gave me singing,
My second eyes to see,
But oh, it was my third love
Who gave my soul to me.
