J2 - Ir citas debesis - Emīlija Dikinsone
Autors: Linda Vītuma
Ir citas debesis,
Tik skaistas un tik rimtas,
Un citi saulstari,
Kaut tumsa arī ir;
Ļauj neredzēt sev izzūdošos mežus, Ostin,
Ļauj neredzēt sev klusos laukus —
Lūk, skati, te ir mazais mežs,
Kur lapas mūžam zaļas;
Lūk, dārzs ar spilgtām krāsām,
Kas salnas nepazīst;
Kur ziedi neizbalo
Kur bišu kori san;
Ak, lūdzams, brālīt manu,
Nāc manā dārzā gan!
J2, 1851
There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields —
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flower
I hear the bright bee hum;
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!
