English Poetry. Stephen Crane. There was set before me a mighty hill. Стивен Крейн.

Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

There was set before me a mighty hill,
And long days I climbed
Through regions of snow.
When I had before me the summit-view,
It seemed that my labour
Had been to see gardens
Lying at impossible distances.

Stephen Crane’s other poems:

1. With eye and with gesture
2. When the prophet, a complacent fat man
3. The ocean said to me once
4. To the maiden
5. Tell brave deeds of war
