Уолт Уитмен (Walt Whitman)




Текст оригинала на английском языке

Leaves of Grass. 35. Good-Bye My Fancy. 24. The Commonplace


The commonplace I sing;
How cheap is health! how cheap nobility!
Abstinence, no falsehood, no gluttony, lust;
The open air I sing, freedom, toleration,
(Take here the mainest lesson—less from books—less from the schools,)
The common day and night—the common earth and waters,
Your farm—your work, trade, occupation,
The democratic wisdom underneath, like solid ground for all.
