Элизабет Бишоп (Elizabeth Bishop)




Текст оригинала на английском языке

Lullaby for the Cat


Minnow, go to sleep and dream,
  Close your great big eyes;
Round your bed Events prepare
  The pleasantest surprise.

Darling Minnow, drop that frown,
  Just cooperate,
Not a kitten shall be drowned
  In the Marxist State.

Joy and Love will both be yours,
  Minnow, don’t be glum.
Happy days are coming soon--
  Sleep, and let them come...
