English Poetry. Alfred Tennyson. The Oak. Альфред Теннисон.

Alfred Tennyson (Альфред Теннисон)

The Oak

Live thy Life,
Young and old,
Like yon oak,
Bright in spring,
Living gold;

Summer-rich
Then; and then
Autumn-changed
Soberer-hued
Gold again.

All his leaves
Fall'n at length,
Look, he stands,
Trunk and bough
Naked strength.
