Day Lewis, Cecil: Szömörce és juhar (Maple and Sumach in Hungarian)

Portre of Day Lewis, Cecil

Maple and Sumach (English)

Maple and sumach down this autumn ride –

Look, in what scarlet character they speak!

For this their russet and rejoicing week

Trees spend a year of sunsets on their pride.

You leaves drenched with the lifeblood of the year –

What flamingo dawns have wavered from the east,

What eves have crimsoned to their toppling crest

To give the fame and transience that you wear!

Leaf-low he shall lie soon: but no such blaze

Briefly can cheer man’s ashen, hars decline;

His fall is short of pride, he bleeds within

And paler creeps to the dead end of his days.

O light’s abandon and the fire-crest sky

Speak in me now for all who are to die!

Szömörce és juhar (Hungarian)

Őszi út mentén szömörce, juhar

s míly boldog skarlát-nyelven szólanak!

Egy évnyi alkonylángot visszaad

e büszke-víg, egy hétnyi diadal.

Élet vérétől ittas levelek

mily reszkető flamingó-hajnalok,

s karmazsin-napnyugták itatták lombotok,

mig e dicső váltáshoz értetek!

Az ember is hamar hulló levél,

de büszkeség nem lángoltatja fel,

bukása nyers, ő belül vérzik el,

míg kúszva, sápadón a sírhoz ér.

tékozló fény, menny tűztaraja,

róluk szólj, kiknek meg kell halnia!
