Robert Burns’ Poetry
Memory
Robert Burns was very curious about different things. Besides, he was very attentive to some small creatures, to which most of the people do not pay attention at all. For example he devoted a poem to a… mouse! Now there is even a monument to that mouse near the museum of the poet.
Robert Burns’ Poetry
The poet is really famous, well-known all over the world. Why?Let’s think about it while reading one of his poems. It is called “O wert thou in the cauld blast” (originally) or “O were you in the coldest blast” (in modern English).
Robert Burns’ Poetry
O wert thou in the cauld blast,On yonder lea, on yonder lea,My plaidie to the angry airt,I'd shelter thee, I'd shelter thee; Or did Misfortune's bitter stormsAround thee blaw, around thee blaw,Thy bield should be my bosom,To share it a', to share it a'.Or were I in the wildest waste,Sae black and bare, sae black and bare,The desert were a Paradise,If thou wert there, if thou wert there; Or were I Monarch o' the globe,Wi' thee to reign, wi' thee to reign,The brightest jewel in my CrownWad be my Queen, wad be my Queen
В полях, под снегом и дождем,Мой милый друг, мой бедный друг,Тебя укрыл бы я плащомОт зимних вьюг, от зимних вьюг.А если мука сужденаТебе судьбой, тебе судьбой,Готов я скорбь твою до днаДелить с тобой, делить с тобой.Пускай сойду я в мрачный дол,Где ночь кругом, где тьма кругом, -Во тьме я солнце бы нашелС тобой вдвоем, с тобой вдвоем.И если б дали мне в уделВесь шар земной, весь шар земной,С каким бы счастьем я владелТобой одной, тобой одной.
Robert Burns’ Poetry
O, were you in the coldest blastOn a dewy field, on a dewy field,The plaid of mine in it’s directionWould be your shield, would be your shield.Or did Misfortune's bitter stormsAround you blow, around you blow,Your shelter should be my bosom,To share it all, to share it all.Or were I in the wildest waste (потеря, убыток),So black and bare (пустой), so black and bare,The desert were a Paradise,If you were there, if you were there.Or were I monarch of the globe,With you to reign, with you to reign,The brightest jewel in my crownWould be my queen, would be my queen.
