I Want To Go To America!
(An Imitation of Rudyard Kipling)
«I’ve never sailed the Amazon,
I’ve never reached Brazil;
But the Don and Magdalena,
They can go there when they will!»
Rudyard Kipling
-----------------------------------
I’ve never sailed across the ocean
to the USA;
I’ve never reached America.
Only big ships cross the ocean there.
From the St. Petersburg harbor,
they can go there when they will!
They go to America,
to America, to America,
to my distant poets-friends.
You will never find
in little poor Russian towns,
charming houses with
real natural flower fences.
But in fantastic America,
there is such abundance of like fine towns!
I don’t know whether I shall see
America, America, America.
Shall I see America
and my distant poets-friends?
