Housman, A. E.: My dreams are of a field afar

Portre of Housman, A. E.

My dreams are of a field afar (English)

My dreams are of a field afar

And blood and smoke and shot

There in their graves my comerades are,

In my grave I am not.

 

I too was taught the trade of man

And spelt the lesson plain

But they, when I forgot and ran,

Remembered and remain.

Álmomban távol sík kisért (Hungarian)

Álmomban távol sík kisért,

vér, füst, golyó zuhog.

Ott annyi társam a sírba tért,

s én sírban nem vagyok.

 

Tanultam én is, mit kiván

a férfitól a had;

és feledtem s futottam, ám

ők tudták – s mind maradt.
