Housman, A. E.: Nyolc óra (Eight O'Clock in Hungarian)

Portre of Housman, A. E.

Eight O'Clock (English)

He stood, and heard the steeple

      Sprinkle the quarters on the morning town.

One, two, three, four, to market-place and people

     It tossed them down.

 

Strapped, noosed, nighing his hour,

      He stood and counted them and cursed his luck;

And then the clock collected in the tower

      Its strength, and struck.

Nyolc óra (Hungarian)

Virradt. Ő állt. Kint a torony

kongatta a negyedeket.

Egy, kettő, három, négy. A piacon

gyűlt a tömeg.

 

Percét várva, nehéz bilincsben,

csak állt s számolt. Szivében vad dühök.

Aztán az óra összeszedte minden

erejét, és ütött.
