Когда, подобно небу в тучах,
Я лил потоки слёз горючих,
Взгляд милой Юлии тотчас,
Как луч, моих коснулся глаз.
И тут – не чудо ли свершилось! –
Улыбкой радуга явилась, -
Заветом, что меня опять
Не будут слёзы затоплять.
Mine eyes, like clouds, were drizzling rain;
And as they thus did entertain
The gentle beams from Julia's sight
To mine eyes levell'd opposite,
O thing admir'd! there did appear
A curious rainbow smiling there
Which was the covenant that she
No more would drown mine eyes or me.
Robert Herrick
THE RAINBOW, OR CURIOUS COVENANT
Mine eyes, like clouds, were drizzling rain;
And as they thus did entertain
The gentle beams from Julia's sight
To mine eyes levell'd opposite,
O thing admir'd! there did appear
A curious rainbow smiling there
Which was the covenant that she
No more would drown mine eyes or me.
