Browning, Robert: Éjszakai találkozó (Meeting at Night in Hungarian)

Portre of Browning, Robert

Meeting at Night (English)

I

The grey sea and the long black land;

And the yellow half-moon large and low;

And the startled little waves that leap

In fiery ringlets from their sleep,

As I gain the cove with pushing prow,

And quench its speed in the slushy sand.

 

II

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;

Three fields to cross till a farm appears;

A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch

And blue spurt of a lighted match,

And a voice less loud, thro’ its joys and fears,

Than the two hearts beating each to each!

Éjszakai találkozó (Hungarian)

I

A szürke tenger, a fekete táj;

A hold, mint sárga, görbe kés;

S az álmukból riadó pici

Hullámok tüzes gyűrüi,

Mikor az öbölbe fordulok és

Csónakom a parton megáll.

 

II

Aztán egy mérföld sós homok;

Három dűlőn túl a tanya;

Ablak, kopogás, gyors sercegés,

Kék gyufaláng, mely elenyész,

Egy nő halk s boldog sikolya,

S két szív, mely egymáson dobog!
