Перевод. Осип Мандельштам, 1910

In secret, weaving, like a snake,
And circling, using a mandrake,
I`m going up above my body, -

I want myself, I am flying high,
My darkest wings obscure the sky,
I`m hovering above the water;

And, like an eagle, stopped to soar,
Returning, saw an empty shore,
Abyss and nests that fallen down -

I`ll wash myself with coloured flame,
Adjuring lightning`s flashing game,
I`ll disappear in the cloud!
