Thomas Hood (Томас Гуд (Худ))

* * *

A lake and a fairy boat
To sail in the moonlight clear, -
And merrily we would float
From the dragons that watch us here!

Thy gown should be snow-white silk
And strings of oriental pearls,
Like gossamers dipped in milk,
Should twine with thy raven curls!

Red rubies should deck thy hands,
And diamonds should be thy dower -
But fairies have broke their wands,
And wishing has lost its power! 

1. Written in Keats' “Endymion”

3. Sonnet on Receiving a Gift
4. The World Is with Me
