風は喇叭の如く進み――エミリー・ディキンソン

There came a Wind like a Bugle —

 

There came a Wind like a Bugle —

It quivered through the Grass

And a Green Chill upon the Heat

So ominous did pass

We barred the Windows and the Doors

As from an Emerald Ghost —

The Doom's electric Moccasin

That very instant passed —

On a strange Mob of panting Trees

And Fences fled away

And Rivers where the Houses ran

Those looked that lived — that Day —

The Bell within the steeple wild

The flying tidings told —

How much can come

And much can go,

And yet abide the World!

 

Emily Dickinson

 

風は喇叭の如く進み――

 

風は喇叭の如く進み――

草原を震わせ渡り

かくも不吉な緑色の

冷気は灼熱を越え

緑の幽霊を忌む如く

窓や扉の閂を閉め――

死の琥珀色の革靴は

その瞬間通り抜け

奇異に反抗する喘ぐ

樹や垣や川に逃げ

当日見た人を飛ばし――

荒々しい尖塔の鐘は

大空の報を告げた――

どれだけ来たりては

どれだけ去るのか、

だが人々は耐え忍ぶ！
