Spoon River Anthology - A. D. Blood (English)

  If you in the village think that my work was a good one,

  Who closed the saloons and stopped all playing at cards,

  And haled old Daisy Fraser before Justice Arnett,

  In many a crusade to purge the people of sin;

  Why do you let the milliner's daughter Dora,

  And the worthless son of Benjamin Pantier

  Nightly make my grave their unholy pillow?

A Spoon River-i holtak - A. D. Blood (Hungarian)

Ha úgy vélitek, hogy helyesen tettem,

amikor bezárattam minden kocsmát,

véget vetettem a kártyajátéknak,

ügyész elé vittem a szájalókat,

s a bűn ellen kereszteshadjáratba

kezdtem – ha egyetérttek még velem,

úgy meddig tűritek, Spoon River népe,

hogy Benjamin Pantier taknyos, rohadt

fia meg a molnárlány éjről éjre

szép síromon paráználkodjanak?
