Ko dotu es lai viņu redzu?
Es dotu — savu — dzīvi dotu —
Bet tas vēl nava viss!
Stāj mirkli — ļauj man padomāt!
Vēl Rīsu strazdu gribu dāļāt!
Nu divi tie — ir Viņš — un Dzīve!
Vai zini “Jūniju” —
Viņu dotu —
No Zanzibāras Rozes ik dienu —
Un Lilijtaures — kā Akas —
Bites — teju furlongu —
Zilo Jumu -
Tauriņu flotes — kurās vēji pūš —
Un raibu Ziedu Lejas —
Man “daļas” Prīmulu “Bankā” —
Narcišu pūri — smaržu “Krājumi” —
Pasaules — plašas kā Rasa
Stropiem Naudas — pilns niknu Bišu —
Atvestas man — no padebešiem —
Un Purpurs — no Peru —
Vai — nopirkts ir —
“Šeilok”? Teic!
Līgumu Slēdz!
“Es maksāšu
Tai — kura ķīlu dod šo —
Par stundu — viņas Kunga sejas!”
Apburošs Līgums!
Skopuļa Cēlums!
Manas Karaļvalsts Svētlaimība!
J247, 1861
What would I give to see his face?
I'd give – I'd give my life – of course –
But that is not enough!
Stop just a minute – let me think!
I'd give my biggest Bobolink!
That makes two – Him – and Life!
You know who "June" is –
I'd give her –
Roses a day from Zanzibar –
And Lily tubes – like Wells –
Bees – by the furlong –
Straits of Blue –
Navies of Butterflies – sailed thro' –
And dappled Cowslip Dells –
Then I have "shares" in Primrose "Banks" –
Daffodil Dowries – spicy "stocks" –
Dominions – broad as Dew –
Bags of Doubloons – adventurous Bees
Brought me – from firmamental seas –
And Purple – from Peru –
Now – have I bought it –
"Shylock"? Say!
Sign me the Bond!
"I vow to pay
To Her – who pledges this –
One hour – of her Sovereign's face"!
Ecstatic Contract!
Niggard Grace!
My Kingdom's worth of Bliss!
