Ikkatra pēda mājup ceļā
Jūt prieku sandalēs —
Krokuss — pirms ir pamodies
Kalps sniega vērpetēs —
Čukst lūpas Aleluja
Jau gadiem garlaikoti
Līdz atkal Laivinieki
Dzied krastā aplaimoti.
Pērle Nirējam ir cents
Gūts no Jūras dzelmes —
Spārni — furgons Serafam
Kājinieks kas bij’ — kā mēs —
Nakts ir rītam Kanva
Laupījums — mantojums —
Nāve mūsu uzmanību ved
Tur kur Mūžīgums.
Nekas man nespēj pateikt
Cik tālu Ciemats ir —
Kur nabagi ir Enģeli —
Kur Pūrvietas ir debess punkti —
Pat mani Gudrie seju slēpj —
Vien ticība, kas Tumsu godā —
Redz, kā no viņas cellēm cēlām
Patiesi atdzimšana rodas.
J7, 1858
The feet of people walking home
With gayer sandals go —
The Crocus — til she rises
The Vassal of the snow —
The lips at Hallelujah
Long years of practise bore
Til bye and bye these Bargemen
Walked singing on the shore.
Pearls are the Diver's farthings
Extorted from the Sea —
Pinions — the Seraph's wagon
Pedestrian once — as we —
Night is the morning's Canvas
Larceny — legacy —
Death, but our rapt attention
To Immortality.
My figures fail to tell me
How far the Village lies —
Whose peasants are the Angels —
Whose Cantons dot the skies —
My Classics veil their faces —
My faith that Dark adores —
Which from its solemn abbeys
Such resurrection pours.
