Petőfi Sándor: Sorrow? A great ocean (A bánat? Egy nagy oceán in English)

Portre of Petőfi Sándor

A bánat? Egy nagy oceán (Hungarian)

A bánat? egy nagy oceán.
S az öröm?
Az óceán kis gyöngye. Talán,
Mire fölhozom, össze is töröm.

 

(Szalkszentmárton, 1846. március 10. előtt.)

Sorrow? A great ocean (English)

Sorrow? A great ocean.
Joy?
A little pearl of the ocean.
Perhaps
By the time I fish it up
I may break it.
