Thomas Hall Shastid: Gondolataim

Gondolataim bűvtollal
Szeretném adni át;
Hatalmas tollal, ámuljon
Ma rajta a világ.

A gondolat folyvást szökik,
Mint kút, mely nem pihen,
Az egyik – hipp-hopp! – jő, míg más
Enyészik hirtelen.

MY THOUGHTS

I would I had some magic pen
That would my thoughts convey.
There were a mighty pen that would
The world astound to-day.

They come and go as fountains flow:
Unceasing, always flowing,
For while some thoughts are coming fast
The others fast are going.
