Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o'ersways their power,
But sad mortality o'ersways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
О how shall summer's honey breath hold out
Oh how shall summer's honey breath hold out
Against the wrackful siege of batt'ring days,
Against the wrackful siege of batt'ring days,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
О fearful meditation! Where, alack,
Oh fearful meditation! Where, alack,
Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid?
Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid?
Or what strong hand can hold this swift foot back,
Or what strong hand can hold this swift foot back,
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
О none, unless this miracle have might,
Oh none, unless this miracle have might,
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
Ни море,ни земля,ни камень и ни сталь
Neither the sea, nor the land, nor the stone and nor the steel
Не в силах отразить твои,
I can't reflect yours,
о смерть,угрозы-
about death, threats -
И красота ли их сильнее-красота ль,
And is their beauty stronger? Is it beauty?
Чья так же власть слаба,
Whose power is also weak,
как ландыша и розы?
like lily of the valley and roses?
Как может устоять весенний ветерок
How can the spring breeze resist
Пред гибельной волной слепого урагана?
Before the disastrous wave of a blind hurricane?
Пожрёт и сокрушит седых времён поток,
The stream of gray times will devour and crush,
И сумрачный гранит,и влагу океана.
And gloomy granite and ocean moisture.
Мучительная мысль!
A painful thought!
Бессилен человек
Powerless man
Спасти единый перл от вас,немые годы!
Save a single pearl from you, silent years!
Какою силою остановить ваш бег?
What force can stop your run?
Кто помешает вам губить красу природы?
Who will stop you from ruining the beauty of nature?
На чудо лишь,мой друг,ничтожно их влиянье:
Miraculously, my friend, their influence is insignificant:
Чернила вечное дадут тебе сиянье.
Eternal ink will give you shine.
