Spoon River Anthology - Mrs. Meyers (English)

  He protested all his life long

  The newspapers lied about him villainously;

  That he was not at fault for Minerva's fall,

  But only tried to help her.

  Poor soul so sunk in sin he could not see

  That even trying to help her, as he called it,

  He had broken the law human and divine.

  Passers by, an ancient admonition to you:

  If your ways would be ways of pleasantness,

  And all your pathways peace,

  Love God and keep his commandments.

A Spoon River-i holtak - Meyers doktorné (Hungarian)

Egész életében abba fogódzott,

hogy a lapok hitványul hazudnak;

hogy nem csinált orvosi műhibát,

csak segíteni próbált Minerván.

Szegény bűnbeesett lélek, nem tudta, hogy

amit úgy nevez: segítség,

az az égi és földi törvény megszegése.

Utas, egy ősi intelem:

legyen bár minden utad gyönyörűség

és béke minden ösvény,

féld az Istent, tartsd meg parancsait.
