Сонет N 2 Память о нём

Edna St. Vincent Millay

 

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied

Who told me time would ease me of my pain!

I miss him in the weeping of the rain;

I want him at the shrinking of the tide;  

The old snows melt from every mountain-side,

And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane;

But last year’s bitter loving must remain

Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.  

There are a hundred places where I fear

To go,—so with his memory they brim.

And entering with relief some quiet place  

Where never fell his foot or shone his face

I say, “There is no memory of him here!”

And so stand stricken, so remembering him.
