English Poem(영어 시)

Annabel Lee(애너벨 리)

It was many and many a year ago(아주 먼 옛날)
In a kingdom by the sea,(바닷가 한 왕국에)
That a maiden there lived whom you may know(여러분이 알지도 모르는 한 처녀가 살았답니다.)
By the name of Annabel Lee;-(그녀 이름은 애너벨 리)
And this maiden she lived with no other thought(단지 그녀 마음 속에는 다른 것이 없었답니다)
That to love and be loved by me.(사랑하고 사랑받으며 사는 것외에는)

She was a child and I was a child,(그녀도 어렸고 나도 어렸을 때)
In this kingdom by the sea,(바닷가 한 왕국에서)
But we loved with a love that was more than love-(우리는 가슴으로 서로 사랑했고,사랑하는 이상이었답니다.)
I and my Annabel Lee-(나와 애너벨 리 사이에는)
With a love that the winged seraphs in Heaven(하늘에 있는 날개달린 세라프천사가)
Coveted her and me.(그년와 나 사이를 시기했습니다.)


And this was the reason that,long ago,(이것은 오래 전의 일이었습니다.)
In this Kingdom by the sea,(바닷가 한 왕국에)
A wind blew out of a cloud,by night(밤에 구름에서 바람이 불고)
Chilling my beautiful Annabel Lee;(나의 아름다운 애너벨 리는 떨고 있었습니다.)
So that her high born kinsmen came(그녀의 지위 높은 친척들이 왔고)
And bore her a way from me,(나에게서 그녀를 데리고 갔습니다.)
To shut her up in a sepulcher(지하실에 그녀를 가두고 문을 잠갔습니다.)
In this kingdom by the sea.(바닷가 한 왕국에서)

The angels,not half so happy in Heaven,(하늘에 있는 천사도 마음이 편치 않았습니다.)
Went envying her and me:-(그녀와 나의 사랑을 시기했기에)
Yes! that was the reason(as all men know,(그래! 그게 바로 그 이유였지-모든 사람들이 다 아는대로)
In this kingdom by the sea.)(그것은 바닷가 이 왕국에서 일어났지)
That the wind came out of the cloud,chilling(바람이 구름에서 일어나)
And killing my Annabel Lee.(애너벨 리를 떨게하고 죽게했지)

But our love was stronger by far than the love(그러나 우리 사랑은 지금까지 어느 사랑보다 더 강했고)
Of those who were older than we-(우리보다 나이가 든 사람들의)
Of many far wiser than we-(우리보다 훨씬 더 현명했던 사람들보다)
And neither the angels in Heaven above(하늘에 있는 천사도)
Nor the demons down under the sea,(바닷 속에 있는 악마도)
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul(저 아름다운 애너벨 리의 영혼에서)
Of the beautifulAnnabel Lee:-(나의 영혼을 떨어지게 할 수 없었어)

For the moon never beams without bringing me(달은 비추지 않아)
dreams of the beautiful Annabel Lee;(나를 저 아름다운 애너벨 리를 굼꾸지 않는다면)
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes(별은 떠 있지 않아도 난)
Of the  beautiful Annabel Lee;(저 아름다운 애너벨 리의 밝은 눈을 볼 수 있어.)
And so,all the night-tide,I lie down by the side(밤새 쪼그려 잠들때)
Of my darling,my darling my life and my bride,(나의 연인,나의 사랑,나의 삶,나의 신부)
In her sepulcher there by the Sea-(바닷가 자하실에서)
In her tomb by the sounding sea.(새찬 파도가 치는 그녀의 무덤에서)

(Edgar Allan Poe 1809~1849) 에드가 엘렌 포우

 

First Love(첫사랑)

Though nurtured like the sailing moon
In beauty's murderous brood.
She walkes awhile and blushed awhile
And on my pathway stood
Until I thought her body bore
A heart of flesh and blood.

But I laid a hand thereon
And found a heart of stone
I have attempted many things
And not a thing is done,
For every hand is lunatic
That travels on the moon.

She smiled and that transfigured me
And left me but a lout,
Maundering here,and maundering there,
Emptier of thought
Than the heavenly circuit of its stars
When the moon sails out.

(William Butler Yeats 1865~1939)

Let It Be Forgotten

Let it be  forgotten,as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,
Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,
Time is a kind friend,he will make us old.

If anyone asks,say it was forgotten
Long and long ago,
As a flower,as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long-forgotten snow.

(Sara Teasdale 1884~1963)

 

 

Love Quietly Comes

Love quietly comes
long in time
after solitary Summers
and false blooms blighted

Love slowly comes
snow inquiring through
frozen water
through night
like stars each flake
steady reaching through

quietly slowly
shafts of wheat
underground love is
heat is
slow quiet
like snow
reaching down then up
love slips into roots
quietly the seed
sprouts shoots
slow as moon swell

(Gloria Vanderbilt 1924~    )

 

 

The Road Not Taken

Two Roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller,long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other,as jut as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear:
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black,
Oh,I kept me first for another day;
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages ans ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,and I
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

(Robert Lee Frost 1874~1963)

What Though Life Conspire To Cheat You

What though life conspire to cheat you,
Do not sorrow or complain.
Lie still on the day of pain,
And the day of joy will greet you.

Hearts live in the coming day.
There's an end to passing sorrow.
Suddenly all flies away,
And delight returns tomorrow.

(Aleksandr Sergeevitch Pushkin 1799~1837)

 

When We Two Parted

When we two parted
Insilence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow-
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is the fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.
They name thee before me,
A kneel to mine ear,

A shudder comes o'er me-
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:-
Long,long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met-
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee-
After long years,
How should I greet thee?-
With silence and tears.

(George Gordon Byron 1788~!824)

 

When June is Come


When June is come,then all the day,
I'll sit with my love in the scented day,
And watch the sunshot palaces high
That the white clouds build in the breezy sky.

The singth,and I do make a song
And read sweet poems the whole day long;
Unseen as we lie in our haybuilt home,
O,life is delight when June is come.

(Robert Seymour Bridges 1844~1930)
