Дары бродячих льдов - фантастика и фэнтези, книги

"Grey Tower" is a lullaby from "Cold Obsidian" (an illustrated fantasy novel you can read here: http://kangassk.cfw.me/ ). It's based on Llanglofan (a traditional Welsh song). The lyrics were translated from Russian by Alan Jackson ( http://www.cosxhyp.xyz/ ): The Grey Tower (see http://giftscomic.com/poem_04.php for the original Russian lyrics) From long ago, from days of old The Grey Tower guards the world Where snow from northern mountains cold Through open windows swirled Hark! The winds are singing Howling, loud and shrill, Hark! The winds are bringing Sad news and chill Unsleeping, o’er the wide world’s spread The Grey Tower keeps its stand Again, again its stern lord sped To some far distant land Hark! The winds are singing Howling, loud and shrill, Hark! The winds are bringing Sad news and chill From southern realms with promise good He heard the warm wind blow; He’d meet again the one he loved So many years ago Hark! The winds are singing Howling, loud and shrill, Hark! The winds are bringing Sad news and chill And yet though oft some troubles draw Them near, but still apart, Their key of happiness is no more – No meeting there of heart Hark! The winds are singing Howling, loud and shrill, Hark! The winds are bringing Sad news and chill
