A door just opened on a street (English)
A door just opened on a street—
I, lost, was passing by—
An instant's width of warmth disclosed
And wealth, and company.
The door as sudden shut, and I,
I, lost, was passing by,—
Lost doubly, but by contrast most,
Enlightening misery. | Uploaded by | Efraim Israel |

Egy utcai kapu kinyílt (Hungarian)
Egy utcai kapu kinyílt —
Ott tévedtem el épp —
Résnyi melegség — pillanat
Dússág, emberi, ép.
A kapu bezárult, nos én
Ott tévedtem el, ott —
Duplán — de a kontraszt eképp
Mutatott meg nyomort. |
