Hardy, Thomas: Proud Songster

Portre of Hardy, Thomas

Proud Songster (English)

The thrushes sing as the sun is going,

And the finches whistle in ones and pairs,

And as it gets dark loud nightingales

In bushes

Pipe, as they can when April wears,

As if all Time were theirs.

 

These are brand new birds of twelvemonths' growing,

Which a year ago, or less than twain,

No finches were, nor nightingales,

Nor thrushes,

But only particles of grain,

And earth, and air, and rain.

Büszke dalnokok (Hungarian)

Rigó zeng, az alkony zenésze,

pinty füttyög, párosan, egyedűl,

s ahogy sötétedik, csalogány

sikongat

s csattog, büszkén s időtlenűl,

a szálló éj mögül.

 

E sok ujdon madár egy éve

(ha kettőt mondok, túlnagy idő)

nem volt se rigó, se csalogány,

se pinty, csak

néhány dekányi levegő,

s föld, és mag, és eső.
