Candlestick"Tamara"
|
||
|
Dedicated to Tamara L. |
||
| Near the very deep Daryal canyon , | ||
| Where Terek makes noise in the dark, | ||
| The ancient tower was standing, | ||
| Showing black at the steep gloomy rock. | ||
| In that tower, narrow and high, | ||
| Tamara had lived , the Queen. | ||
| As delightful as sprite in the sky, | ||
| But as wicked as demon she'd been. | ||
| It was usual: through mist of midnight | ||
|
Golgen light was shininig so bright, |
||
| T' was attracting the traveller's glance, | ||
| And invited to rest him at once. | ||
| 1841 M. Lermontov | ||
