English Poetry. Walter Savage Landor. Proud Word You Never Spoke, But You Will Speak. Уолтер Сэвидж Лэндор.

Walter Savage Landor (Уолтер Сэвидж Лэндор)

* * *

Proud word you never spoke, but you will speak
  Four not exempt from pride some future day.
Resting on one white hand a warm wet cheek
  Over my open volume you will say,
'This man loved me!' then rise and trip away.
