Masters, Edgar Lee: A Spoon River-i holtak - Jeduthan Hawley (Spoon River Anthology - Jeduthan Hawley in Hungarian)

Portre of Masters, Edgar Lee

Spoon River Anthology - Jeduthan Hawley (English)

  There would be a knock at the door

  And I would arise at midnight and go to the shop,

  Where belated travelers would hear me hammering

  Sepulchral boards and tacking satin.

  And often I wondered who would go with me

  To the distant land, our names the theme

  For talk, in the same week, for I've observed

  Two always go together.

  Chase Henry was paired with Edith Conant;

  And Jonathan Somers with Willie Metcalf;

  And Editor Hamblin with Francis Turner,

  When he prayed to live longer than Editor Whedon,

  And Thomas Rhodes with widow McFarlane;

  And Emily Sparks with Barry Holden;

  And Oscar Hummel with Davis Matlock;

  And Editor Whedon with Fiddler Jones;

  And Faith Matheny with Dorcas Gustine.

  And I, the solemnest man in town,

  Stepped off with Daisy Fraser.

A Spoon River-i holtak - Jeduthan Hawley (Hungarian)

Kopogni szoktak az ajtón,

én meg fölkelek, éjfél van, kimegyek a műhelybe,

a kései utasok hallják, ahogy szépen

döngetem a koporsókat, szegelem a vásznat.

Sokat morfondíroztam, ki jön majd velem

abba a távoli országba, hogy rólunk beszéljen a város,

egyazon héten, mivel megfigyeltem:

két halott mindig együtt jár.

Chase Henryt, a zsiványt, a szép Edith Conant kísérte el,

bölcs Jonathan Somerst Willie Metcalf, az istállófiú,

Hamblin szerkesztőt elvitte a szívbajos Francis Turner

mikor azon imádkozott, hogy túlélje Whedont,

Thomas Rhodesnak özvegy McFarlane-né, a lenszövő jutott,

a szűz Emily Sparksnak az őrült Barry Holden,

a részeg Oscar Hummelnak a boldog Davis Matlock,

Whedon szerkesztőt elkísérte Jones, a hegedűs,

az éteri Faith Mathenyt a spártai Dorcas Gustine,

és engem, a város legkomolyabb emberét,

elcsípett Daisy Fraser.
