Солдат

Когда солдатом я был,
В военной форме и строевым шагом я ходил.

Когда полицейским я был,
С пистолетом и строевым шагом я ходил.

Когда дантистом я был,
Со щипцами и строевым шагом я ходил.

Когда доктором я был,
В белом халате строевым шагом я ходил.

Когда парикмахером я был,
С расчёской и ножницами строевым шагом я ходил.

Когда мясником я был,
В фартуке с ножом строевым шагом я ходил.

Когда булочником я был,
Со скалкой и баранками строевым шагом я ходил.

Когда бакалейщиком я был,
С мукой и сахаром строевым шагом я ходил.

А строевым шагом я ходил,
Потому что в душе солдатом я был.

The Arrow and the Song
(by H. W. Longfellow)

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Сould not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where,
For who has sight to keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow still unbroke;
And the song from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

Стрела и песня

Я в воздух стрелу пустил,
Возможно, где-то на землю упала она,
Такую быструю ее смастерил,
Что даже глазом моргнуть не дала.

Где ж ты стрела моя? Я песню запел…
Может в воду упала она?
И я в даль посмотрел…
Куда же судьба тебя занесла?

Долго, долго потом я искал беглеца,
В дубе могучем была стрела как заслуга,
И старая песня моя от начала вся до конца,
Отразилась в сердце старого друга.

DOGS (after Ogden Nash)

The dog is man’s best friend.
He has a tail on one end.
Up in front he has teeth.
And four legs underneath.
Dogs like to bark.
They like it best after dark.
A dog that is indoors
Wants to be outdoors.
But let him out-and what then?
He wants to be in again.

Dogs cheer up people who are frowning
And rescue people who are drowning.
Dogs in the country have fun.
They run and run and run.
But in the city this species
Is walked around on leashes.
Dogs are friendly, loyal and honest.
Of all the pets I like them most.

Собаки любят лаять, посмотри.
Им не нравится внутри.
Солнца ждут они подъема.
И рвутся выбраться дома.
Ну вот они за дверью – Что теперь?
Хочет обратно смелый зверь.
