ВСАДНИК

Я слышал - всадник
По холмам скакал;
Луна сверкала,
Ночь рекой текла;
Шлем серебрится,
И бледен он;
И конь, как будто
Из кости точен.


  THE  HORSEMAN
(Walter de la Mare)

I heard a horseman
Ride over the hill;
The moon shone clear,
The night was still;
His helm was silver,
And pale was he;
And the horse he rod
Was of ivory.
