Марина Цветаева «Моим стихам, написанным так рано…» на английском языке
* * *
Моим стихам, написанным так рано,
Что и не знала я, что я — поэт,
Сорвавшимся, как брызги из фонтана,
Как искры из ракет,
Ворвавшимся, как маленькие черти,
В святилище, где сон и фимиам,
Моим стихам о юности и смерти,
— Нечитанным стихам!
Разбросанным в пыли по магазинам,
Где их никто не брал и не берет,
Моим стихам, как драгоценным винам,
Настанет свой черед.
Май 1913, Коктебель
Марина Цветаева (1892-1941)

My verse written so early in my life
I didn’t know I was a poet yet,
My verse which burst off, like drops from a fountain,
Or sparks from rocket jets;
And burst like tiny demons through the holy
Sanctum where sleep and incense come together;
My verse that went on about death and youth
In lines unread as ever,
Thrown all around amid the dust of bookstores,
Unpurchased then or now by anyone,
My verse in store like precious wine awaits
Its time. Its time will come.
Marina Tsvetaeva

For my poems, written so young
I’d not dreamed I was a poet,
Like drops from the fountain flung,
Like sparks from a rocket,
That burst into the realm of true
Sleep, and incense, like tiny demons,
For my poems about death and youth,
— For my unread sermons! —
Scattered in dusty stores, in line,
Where, un-purchased, they are dumb,
For my poems, like precious wine,
A time will come.
Marina Tsvetaeva
Translated by A. S. Kline

My poems, written so early
That I did not know, that I was — a poet,
Thrown, like drops from a fountain,
Like sparks from a rocket,
That burst like tiny devils,
Into the sanctuary of sleep and incense,
My poems about youth and death,
— Unread poems! —
Scattered in dusty shops,
(Where no one ever took or bought them!)
My poems, like precious wines,
Their time will come.
