Я с мыслью о тебе проснулась
И всё внимала, чуть жива,
Как ветер, шелестя листвою,
Качает дерева,
И раз за разом мне казалось, —
А ветер выл, тряся листы, —
Что это ты пришёл за мною,
Что ветер — ты.
The Storm
I thought of you when I was wakened
By a wind that made me glad and afraid
Of the rushing, pouring sound of the sea
That the great trees made.
One thought in my mind went over and over
While the darkness shook and the leaves were thinned –
I thought it was you who had come to find me,
You were the wind.
