J40 - Kad apceru es sēklas - Emīlija Dikinsone
Autors: Linda Vītuma
Kad apceru es sēklas
Kas zemē dēstītas,
Lai plauktu tad, kaut kad —
Kad domāju par cilvēkiem
Kas zemes dzīlēs guļ,
Lai augšāmceltos satikties tur tad —
Kad ticu dārzam
Ko neredz ļaudis mirstīgi —
Paļāvībā varu ziedu plūkt
Un no Bites sargāti,
Atsakos no vasaras es, teju teju vēlīgi.
J40,1858
When I count the seeds
That are sown beneath,
To bloom so, bye and bye —
When I con the people
Lain so low,
To be received as high —
When I believe the garden
Mortal shall not see —
Pick by faith its blossom
And avoid its Bee,
I can spare this summer, unreluctantly.
