Перевод песни

Песня: The Veteran
It was a Sabbath morn,
The bell had chimed for church,
And the young and gay were gathering
Around the rustic porch;
There came an aged man,
In a soldier's garb was he,
And gazing round the group, he cried,
"Do none remember me?"

The veteran forgot
His friends were changed or gone;
The manly forms around him there,
As children he had known;
He pointed to the spot
Where his dwelling used to be,
Then told his name, and smiling said,
"You now remember me!"

Alas! None knew him there!
He pointed to a stone,
On which the name he breathed was traced,
A name to them unknown;
And then the old man wept,
"I am friendless now," cried he;
"Where I had many friends in youth,
Not one remembers me!"

Перевод песни:
Ветеран*

Субботним утром звон,
Он в церковь созывал,
И вся молодёжь столпилася
У грубого крыльца,
И подошёл старик,
Он одет был, как солдат,
И, осмотревшись, он вскричал:
"Ну, помнит кто меня?"..... [открыть перевод]
