English Poetry. Edward Lear. There Was an Old Person of Berlin. Эдвард Лир. Молчаливый старик из Бермуд

Edward Lear (Эдвард Лир)

* * *

There was an Old Person of Berlin,
Whose form was uncommonly thin;
	Till he once, by mistake,
	Was mixed up in a cake,
So they baked that Old Man of Berlin.

Перевод на русский язык

* * *

Молчаливый старик из Бермуд
Был на редкость тщедушен и худ.
	На столе он прилёг,
	Вместе с тестом в пирог
Запечён был старик из Бермуд.
