Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)


* * *


Behold, the grave of a wicked man,
And near it, a stern spirit.

There came a drooping maid with violets,
But the spirit grasped her arm.
”No flowers for him,” he said.
The maid wept:
”Ah, I loved him.”
But the spirit, grim and frowning:
”No flowers for him.”

Now, this is it --
If the spirit was just,
Why did the maid weep?



Stephen Crane's other poems:
  1. Blustering God
  2. There was a man and a woman
  3. Behold, from the land of the farther suns
  4. A god in wrath
  5. A little ink more or less!
