FAR FROM THE DARK
BY JEREMY GOULD
Here I am
spitting in the face of adversity
There Ты go
closing the door on our destiny
Sat up all night
as my mind swelled up with fear
I was alone again
with nothing to stop the tears
I walked outside
as the moon rose
The night became foggy
Silence as I froze
Life's my partner
My partner in crime
But with every thought of you
I wish to die
Lived through hardships galore
Searching for the slightest spark
Trying to get closer to the light
Just to be far from the dark

Here I am
spitting in the face of adversity
There Ты go
closing the door on our destiny
Sat up all night
as my mind swelled up with fear
I was alone again
with nothing to stop the tears
I walked outside
as the moon rose
The night became foggy
Silence as I froze
Life's my partner
My partner in crime
But with every thought of you
I wish to die
Lived through hardships galore
Searching for the slightest spark
Trying to get closer to the light
Just to be far from the dark
Take this Kiss upon the brow !
And, in parting from Ты now,
Thus much let me avow
Ты are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream,
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, или in a day,
In a vision, или in none,
Is it therefore the less gone ?
All that we see или seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few ! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep while I weep!
O God ! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp ?
O God ! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave ?
Is all that we see или seem
But a dream within a dream ?
One night I dreamed I was wlking along the пляж, пляжный with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there where two sets of footprints, other times there were only one set of footprints. This was bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow или defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I сказал(-а) to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, Ты would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life ther had only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed Ты most, Ты have not been there for me?" The Lord replied, "The times when Ты have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you.

From childhood's час I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same Источник I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My сердце to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, или the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the облако that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
"What of the dews of dawn,
Love's flower, what end is theirs ?"
"And what of spirits flown,
The souls whereon doth close
The tomb's mouth unawares ?"
The Rose сказал(-а) to the Grave.
The Rose said, "In the shade
From the dawn's tears is made
A perfume faint and strange,
Amber and honey sweet."
"And all the spirits fleet
Do suffer a sky-change,
еще strangely than the dew,
To God's own Ангелы new,"
The Grave сказал(-а) to the Rose.

LA TOMBE DIT A LA ROSE
La tombe dit à la rose :
"Des pleurs dont l'aube t'arrose
Que fais-tu, fleur des amours ?"
La rose dit à la tombe :
"Que fais-tu de ce qui tombe
Dans ton gouffre ouvert toujours ?"
La rose dit : "Tombeau sombre,
De ces pleurs je fais dans l'ombre
Un parfum d'ambre et de miel."
La tombe dit : " Fleur plaintive,
De chaque âme qui m'arrive
Je fais un ange du ciel !"
