Lady Fox

[alder_zp]

Д/з на курсе "Writing for Young Readers".
Когда Медвежонку задали перевод стихотворного текста, он объявил, что на русском стихов не пишет. Я подумала: «А я не пишу на английском». А, собственно, почему (помимо очевидно-риторического «куда это потом девать»)?

Lady Fox

Always friendly, always free,
Lady Fox is there for me.
When I’m sad she sings a song,
When I laugh she laughs along.
We can play and we can chat,
Going there and doing that.

Lady Fox is my best friend,
Shall we have a happy end?

Something happens, and one day
She admits that she can’t stay.
“When”, she says, “I close the door,
You won’t need me anymore.
You will love, you’ll have a child,
I’ll go back into the wild.”

And I cried, “I don’t want to!
Lady Fox, I’ll go with you.”
“Sure, you will”, she says, and I
Listen to her lullaby.

I drop off in morning gloom.
Lady Fox escapes the room.
