English leo

Today I've started to learn English by lingualeo.ru
And I've found some good poems. Get it!:D

Fire And Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

If... (by Rudyard Kipling)

IF you can keep your head when all about you 
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: 


If you can make one heap of all your winnings 
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'


If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Dream

Your beauty and love touch me so deep,

If this is a dream, forever I’ll sleep.

Visions of us on a secluded beach,

Your eyes reveal all, no need for a speech.

Waves from the ocean, cannot cool our heat,

For this is internal, the salt will be sweet.

Our happiness radiates, just like the sun,

The day I met you, my life just begun.

Eternal embrace in the soft summer sand,

We imagine our life and our love that is grand.

As we lay there, past experiences remind,

How our destinies, were certainly kind.

As hours pass, the sun disappears,

The one next to me, protects me from fears.

As I hope and pray, I see your face beam,

This is all true, not just a dream.

And that little leo helps me to learn English!^-^

But it'll grow!
