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. Stanzas (Is there a bitter pang for love removed)
2. The World Is with Me
3. Sonnet (By ev'ry sweet tradition of true hearts)
4. Lines on Seeing My Wife and Two Children Sleeping in the Same Chamber
5. Ballad (Spring it is cheery)
