Роберт Берн стихи о родине. Скиньте стихи

I love my native land with such perverse affection!

My better judgement has no standing here.

Not glory, won in bloody action,

nor yet that calm demeanour, trusting and austere,

nor yet age-hallowed rites or handed-down traditions;

not one can stir my soul to gratifying visions.

And yet I love - a mystery to me -

her dreary steppelands wrapped in icy silence,

her boundless, swaying, forest-mantled highlands,

the flood waters in springtime, ample as the sea;

I love to jolt along a narrow country byway

and, slowly peering through the darkness up ahead

while sighing for a lodging, glimpse across the highway

the mournful trembling fires of villages outspread.

I love the smoke of stubble blazing,

heaped wagons on the steppe at night,

a hill mid yellow cornfields raising,

a pair of birch trees silver-bright.

With pleasure few have yet discovered,

a laden granary I see,

a hut with straw thatch neatly covered,

carved window shutters swinging free.

On feast nights with the dew descending,

I'll watch till midnight, never fear

the dance, the stamps and whistles blending

with mumbling rustics full of beer."

My Native Land Sae Far Awa

1791

O sad and heavy, should I part,

But for her sake, sae far awa;

Unknowing what my way may thwart,

My native land sae far awa.

Thou that of a' things Maker art,

That formed this Fair sae far awa,

Gie body strength, then I'll ne'er start

At this my way sae far awa.

How true is love to pure desert!

Like mine for her sae far awa;

And nocht can heal my bosom's smart,

While, oh, she is sae far awa!

Nane other love, nane other dart,

I feel but her's sae far awa;

But fairer never touch'd a heart

Than her's, the Fair, sae far awa.
