Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Эмили Дикинсон)

* * *

Heart not so heavy as mine,
Wending late home,
As it passed my window
Whistled itself a tune, --

A careless snatch, a ballad,
A ditty of the street;
Yet to my irritated ear
An anodyne so sweet,

It was as if a bobolink,
Sauntering this way,
Carolled and mused and carolled,
Then bubbled slow away.

It was as if a chirping brook
Upon a toilsome way
Set bleeding feet to minuets
Without the knowing why.

To-morrow, night will come again,
Weary, perhaps, and sore.
Ah, bugle, by my window,
I pray you stroll once more!

1. Mother Nature
2. What If I Say I Shall Not Wait?
3. Умерших проще пожалеть • 'Tis Easier to Pity Those When Dead
4. In Lands I Never Saw, They Say
5. The Moon Is Distant from the Sea
