Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Эмили Дикинсон)

Triumph

Triumph may be of several kinds.
There 's triumph in the room
When that old imperator, Death,
By faith is overcome.

There 's triumph of the finer mind
When truth, affronted long,
Advances calm to her supreme,
Her God her only throng.

A triumph when temptation's bribe
Is slowly handed back,
One eye upon the heaven renounced
And one upon the rack.

Severer triumph, by himself
Experienced, who can pass
Acquitted from that naked bar,
Jehovah's countenance!

1. There Is a Shame of Nobleness
2. The Snow
3. The Battle-Field
4. If Anybody's Friend Be Dead
5. A Country Burial

Helen Cone (Хелен Коун) Triumph ("This windy sunlit morning after rain")
