Муза	My Muse
Александр Пушкин	Translated by Ivan Panin Put side by side by Akirill.com

В младенчестве моем она меня любила	In the days of my youth she was fond of me,
И семиствольную цевницу мне вручила.	And the seven-stemmed flute she handed me.
Она внимала мне с улыбкой — и слегка,	To me with smile she listened; and already gently
По звонким скважинам пустого тростника,	Along the openings echoing of the woods
Уже наигрывал я слабыми перстами	Was playing I with fingers tender:
И гимны важные, внушенные богами,	Both hymns solemn, god-inspired
И песни мирные фригийских пастухов.	And peaceful song of Phrygian shepherd.
С утра до вечера в немой тени дубов	From morn till night in oak’s dumb shadow
Прилежно я внимал урокам девы тайной,	To the strange maid’s teaching intent I listened;
И, радуя меня наградою случайной,	And with sparing reward me gladdening
Откинув локоны от милого чела,	Tossing back her curls from her forehead dear,
Сама из рук моих свирель она брала.	From my hands the flute herself she took.
Тростник был оживлен божественным дыханьем	Now filled the wood was with breath divine
И сердце наполнял святым очарованьем.	And the heart with holy enchantment filled.
	1823.
