Cruelty is the fruit of human hearts,
We envy look fat in that opinion,
Our image of the horror of the crown,
And stealth is our outfit.
Our outfit - forged steel,
Under it a fire power,
And view of the damper of the kiln
Hides the heart the mouth.
Quote Explanation: "A divine image" from "Songs of experience" 1794. Translation Alexey Kruglov.

We forged the clothes of steel,
Our body - the fiery furnace,
Our faces closed furnace,
Our heart - hungry dragon.
The human dress is forged iron,
The human form a fiery forge,
The human face a furnace sealed,
The human heart its hungry gorge.

Envy burning in the Man's Face,
In The Heart - The Cruelty Of Hell,
Horror - the Divine Way from the beginning,
The Mystery Of His Outfit.
Outfit It - steel Armor
Scorching Bugle - Brow,
His Body - Bellows,
Greedy Heart The Mouth!
Cruelty has a Human Heart
And Jealousy a Human Face
Terror the Human Form Divine
And Secrecy, the Human Dress
The Human Dress, is forged Iron
The Human Form, a fiery Forge.
The Human Face, a Furnace seal d
The Human Heart, its hungry Gorge.

I wandered one day on the winter trails.
- Play with me! I said to the snowflakes.
Played, and melted... Their behavior
Winter was horrified as the fall.
I walked abroad on a snowy day:
I ask'd the soft Snow with me to play:
She play d and she melted in all her prime;
And the Winter call d it a dreadful crime.

There is a smile of love
And the smile of deceit and flattery.
And there is a smile of smiles,
Where both occur together.
Have a look, filled with anger,
And look, concealing the contempt.
And if there are both
There is no healing.
Quote Explanation: Translated By S. Marshak.

The word can't be expressed
All the love to the beloved.
The wind is moving, sliding,
Quiet and invisible.
I said, I said,
What lurked in the soul.
Oh, my love in tears
In fear withdrew.
A moment later
The traveler marching past,
Softly, softly, jokingly
Took possession of the beloved.
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly
I told my love i told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! she doth depart.
Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.
