Уильям Батлер Йейтс (William Butler Yeats)




Текст оригинала на английском языке

The Old Men Admiring Themselves in the Water


I HEARD the old, old men say,
"Everything alters,
And one by one we drop away."
They had hands like claws, and their knees
Were twisted like the old thorn-trees
By the waters.
I heard the old, old men say,
"All that's beautiful drifts away
Like the waters."
