Мое любимое стихотворение Асадова. Эдельвейс. Есть на земле...

My favorite poem is Asadov. Edelweiss.
There are miracles on earth)

     A nerd who returned from the southern latitudes,
     He told us with passion
     About rare plants of mountain heights,
     Running up to the clouds.

     They stand proudly, crystal clear
     Like bright hats of snow.
     Children of desperate height
     And the wild singing of the winds.

     In the palms of the nerd - burning blue
     Blinding sun and eternal shame
     Swing is important, harsh.
     Names flickering - solid Latin -
     One is incomprehensible to the other.

     At the end, he said: - But the edelweiss,
     Reigning almost in the clouds.
     A risky flight was taken after him,
     And here he is in my hands!

     Take a look: it shines like mountain snow,
     But that is not just a flower.
     About him legend after century century
     Ancient preserves the East.

     This is a wizard. Mascot Flower.
     Who will take possession of him
     Easily destroy any deception
     And we will keep from troubles.

     And most importantly, this flower is fraught
     Sweet and hot captivity:
     The one who hands it to a friend
     Heart will take in return. -

     He finished, adding jokingly: - Well,
     This science denies
     But if a legend lives on for centuries,
     Still, who knows? ..

     Botany clapped on the shoulders
     The cabinet hummed from jokes:
     - Now at least pass the exam by color!
     Yes, you are not a scientist - a poet!

     And I thought to the rumble and laughter:
     What will she say now?
     The one that is more beautiful and finer than all,
     But it’s always so cold.

     So cold I don't know
     Is it happiness or misfortune for me?
     Here she smiled: - This, friends,
     Cute, but nonsense ... -

     In the night above the gardens the stars lit
     And in the river it’s dark, dark ...
     The stars are pushing and falling down
     With a hiss, they go to the bottom.

     Wind sweeping poplar snow
     Mint smells like weeds ...
     Of course, stupid: the atomic age -
     And then a mascot flower!

     So be it! And love? After all, her sometimes
     You can’t find without a miracle!
     And is there such a scientist
     So that to the heart opened the way ?!

     Edelweiss flower ... Pinching sadness ...
     Legend ... Gray-haired East ...
     And what if I suddenly take it and come back
     And I will beg that flower ?!

     Will I be ridiculed? I agree. Let be.
     I’ll get it at any cost!
     Does not believe? Do not! But I'll be back
     And I’ll hand that flower to her!

     Dare! Here is his house ... a turn ...
     I’m extinguishing a stub of light,
     And suddenly towards me from the gate
     Swift action figures!

     I saw, flushed with joy: - You!
     There is, therefore, a secret power.
     You know, he fiercely loves flowers,
     But I could, begged ...

     You’ll understand everything now ... I’m not against miracles,
     No, I'm not saying that ... -
     And suddenly she handed me an edelweiss.
     - Here ... Accept ... I give!

     Stars flashed the stars
     A night on fire ...
     People, there are miracles on earth!
     People believe me!
