"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.
