English Poetry. Walter Savage Landor. Well I Remember How You Smiled. Уолтер Сэвидж Лэндор.

Walter Savage Landor (Уолтер Сэвидж Лэндор)

* * *

Well I remember how you smiled
  To see me write your name upon
The soft sea-sand--'O! what a child!
  You think you're writing upon stone!'
I have since written what no tide
  Shall ever wash away, what men
Unborn shall read o'er ocean wide
  And find Ianthe's name again.
