Housman, A. E.: Yonder See the Morning

Portre of Housman, A. E.

Yonder See the Morning (English)

Yonder see the morning blink:

     The sun is up, and up must I,

To wash and dress and eat and drink

And look at things and talk and think

     And work, and God knows why.

 

Oh often have I washed and dressed

     And what's to show for all my pain?

Let me lie abed and rest:

Ten thousand times I've done my best

     And all's to do again.

Keleten már rózsás szegély (Hungarian)

Keleten már rózsás szegély:

felkel a nap s én is kelek.

Mosdj és öltözz! igyál, egyél!

és nézz és láss! eszmélj, beszélj!

s dolgozz! Szent ég, minek?

 

Mosdottam, öltöztem sokat,

s ennyi bajjal mit értem el?

Nyugságot már csak ágyam ad:

ezerszer tettem dolgomat,

és mindig újra kell!
