Graves, Robert: Harmatcsepp és gyémánt (Dew-Drop And Diamond in Hungarian)

Portre of Graves, Robert

Dew-Drop And Diamond (English)

The difference between you and her
(whom I to you did once prefer)
Is clear enough to settle:
She like a diamond shone, but you
Shine like an early drop of dew
Poised on a red rose petal.
 
The dew-drop carries in its eye
Mountain and forest, sea and sky,
With every change of weather;
Contrariwise, a diamond splits
The prospect into idle bits
That none can piece together.

Harmatcsepp és gyémánt (Hungarian)

Hogy különböztök, te meg ő:
Oly könnyen ecsetelhető!
Kit egykor eléd helyeztem,
Ő gyémántként ragyogott, de te,
Mint harmatcsepp tündöklete,
Remegsz egy rózsakelyhen.
 
A harmat egybegyűjtöget
Hegyet, vadont, tengert, eget,
Felhőlátványt szemébe;
A gyémánt, mit lát, szétszedi,
Villognak csak tört-képei,
Egynek se lesz egésze.
