Ballade about The Little Man
БАЛЛАДА О МАЛЕНЬКОМ ЧЕЛОВЕКЕ
Р.Рождественский.
(перевод)
On the earth,
Cruelly little,
There lived, once, a man.
Little...
And the man had a job.
Little...
And a miserably little post.
And the profit, he had,
Was little...
And once,
In a nice morning,
There sounded a knock.
Little...
It came
To his little window,
Seemed, a not very big
War...
He was given a gun.
Little...
He was given high boots.
Little...
He was given a helmet.
Little...
And a little in size
Greatcoat...
...But when he had dropped -
Absurdly,
Improperly,
In assaulting yellings
Had turned his mouth out,
Firmly, all the earth
Was too short of marble
To hack out the fellow
In his real height...
