Spoon River Anthology - Hamilton Greene (English)

  I was the only child of Frances Harris of Virginia

  And Thomas Greene of Kentucky,

  Of valiant and honorable blood both.

  To them I owe all that I became,

  Judge, member of Congress, leader in the State.

  From my mother I inherited

  Vivacity, fancy, language;

  From my father will, judgment, logic.

  All honor to them

  For what service I was to the people!

A Spoon River-i holtak - Hamilton Greene (Hungarian)

A Virginia-beli Frances Harris

és a Kentuckyból való Thomas Greene:

nemes, tiszta vérű szülők egyetlen fia voltam.

Nekik köszönöm mindazt, ami lettem:

bíró, kongresszusi tag, valamint közéleti személyiség.

Anyámtól örököltem

szikra-szellemet, fantáziát, ékesszólást;

apámtól erőt, judíciumot, logikát.

Övék minden dicsőség

azért, hogy szolgáltam a népet!
