Edna St. Vincent Millay (Эдна Сент-Винсент Миллей)


* * *


Not in a silver casket cool with pearls
Or rich with red corundum or with blue,
Locked, and the key withheld, as other girls
Have given their loves, I give my love to you;
Not in a lovers’-knot, not in a ring
Worked in such fashion, and the legend plain—
Semper fidelis, where a secret spring
Kennels a drop of mischief for the brain:
Love in the open hand, no thing but that,
Ungemmed, unhidden, wishing not to hurt,
As one should bring you cowslips in a hat
Swung from the hand, or apples in her skirt,
I bring you, calling out as children do:
”Look what I have!—And these are all for you.”



Edna St. Vincent Millay's other poems:
  1. The Snow Storm
  2. To S. M.
  3. Scrub
  4. Sweet Love, Sweet Thorn, When Lightly To My Heart
  5. Fontaine, Je Ne Boirai Pas De Ton Eau!
