Z.Ghippius, Love - Is Only One - Translation (Rus.) Poem by Lyudmila Purgina

Love - is only one
by Zinaida Ghippius

And only one time with a foam
Wave is rising and falling down.
And heart can't live with parting tone,
There's no a betrayal - only love.

We can be angry or be playing,
Or lying - but the heart is silent.
We never could produce betrayal:
The soul is one - and love is one.

Monotonoudsly and so desertly,
With only one quality is powered,
Life goes away... And in this life, well,
You know, that love is one, and only one.

Immutable - causes eternal,
And constancy - is deep as chasm.
And further - there's the way etherial,
And it is clear: love - is one.

With blood we pay for love entirely,
But faithful soul - quite loyal,
And we love only with one love rather...
Love's one on earth, as death is one.
