O SAY what is that thing call’d Light,
Which I must ne’er enjoy;
The cottage was a thatch'd one,
The outside old and mean,
A man is standing in the hall
His house not recognizing.
I go out in the grey evening
In the air the odor of flowers and the sounds of lamentation.
No downward path to death we go Through no dark shades or valleys low,
Dil mat Tapak Nazar Say ke Paya Na Jay Ga, Ju’ N Ashak phar Zami’N Say Uthaya Na Jay Ga.
Unrivall'd Greece! thou ever honor'd name,
Thou nurse of heroes dear to deathless fame!
be-KHudee le ga'ee kahaaN ham ko
der se intaZaar hai apnaa
These are the little shoes that died. We could not keep her still,
Suddenly laughter was turned to sorrow
Silent and white like the mist
Your eyes go sad. You're not
Listening to what I say.
I stood and watched him playing,
A little lad of three,
when you came often drawn to the girl
loved as no other will be loved by you.

Go back to your grave, O my Dream, under forests of snow,
Where a heart-riven child hid you once, seven eons ago

Era um sonho dantesco… o tombadilho
Que das luzernas avermelha o brilho.
Thro' the roaring dark of the tempest
We had struggled the whole night long,
Senhor Deus dos desgraçados!
Dizei-me vós, Senhor Deus!
See! Round yon rock the bellowing waves
In quick succession spread!
Begin, my muse, the imitative lay,
Aonian doxies sound the thrumming string;
Just from the sentry's tramp
(I must take it again at ten),
Across the trackless seas I go,
No matter when or where,
Behind a trench in Flanders the sun was dropping low,
With tramp, and creak and jingle I heard the gun-teams go;
And now the bell, -- the bell
She had so often heard by night and day
Strange Power, I know not what thou art, Murderer or mistress of my heart.
Goodbye! the tears are in my eyes;
Farewell, farewell, my prettiest;
WHERE the ironbarks are hanging leaves disconsolate and pale,
Where the wild vines o’er the ranges their spilt cream of blossom trail,
On lofty Beysitoun the lingering sun looks down on ceaseless labors, long begun:
