Amy Lowell: Suggested By The Cover Of A Volume Of Keats's Poems (English)

 
Wild little bird, who chose thee for a sign 
To put upon the cover of this book? 
Who heard thee singing in the distance dim, 
The vague, far greenness of the enshrouding wood, 
When the damp freshness of the morning earth 
Was full of pungent sweetness and thy song? 

Who followed over moss and twisted roots, 
And pushed through the wet leaves of trailing vines 
Where slanting sunbeams gleamed uncertainly, 
While ever clearer came the dropping notes, 
Until, at last, two widening trunks disclosed 
Thee singing on a spray of branching beech, 
Hidden, then seen; and always that same song 
Of joyful sweetness, rapture incarnate, 
Filled the hushed, rustling stillness of the wood? 

We do not know what bird thou art. Perhaps 
That fairy bird, fabled in island tale, 
Who never sings but once, and then his song 
Is of such fearful beauty that he dies 
From sheer exuberance of melody. 

For this they took thee, little bird, for this 
They captured thee, tilting among the leaves, 
And stamped thee for a symbol on this book. 
For it contains a song surpassing thine, 
Richer, more sweet, more poignant. And the poet 
Who felt this burning beauty, and whose heart 
Was full of loveliest things, sang all he knew 
A little while, and then he died; too frail 
To bear this untamed, passionate burst of song.

Ami Lowell: Suggéré Par La Couverture D'un Volume Des Poésies De (French)

Keats 

Le petit oiseau sauvage, qui a choisi le thee pour qu'un signe mette 
sur la couverture de ce livre ? Qui a entendu le thee chanter dans la 
distance faible, la verdeur vague et lointaine du bois emballant, 
quand la fraîcheur humide de la terre de matin était pleine de la 
douceur piquante et de la chanson thy ? 

Qui a suivi la mousse finie et a tordu des racines, et a poussé par 
les feuilles humides des vignes de remorquage où inclinant des 
sunbeams a brillé incertain, alors que jamais le clairifiant venait 
les notes chutantes, jusque à, enfin, Thee révélé deux par troncs 
d'élargissement chantant sur un pulvérisateur de hêtre 
s'embranchant, caché, puis vu; et toujours que la même chanson de 
la douceur joyeuse, ravissement incarné, a rempli fait calmer, 
bruissant le calme du bois ? 

Nous ne savons pas quel art de thou d'oiseau. Peut-être cet oiseau 
féerique, fabuleux dans le conte d'île, qui ne chante jamais mais 
une fois, et alors sa chanson est d'une telle beauté craintive qu'il 
meurt de l'exubérance fine de la mélodie. 

Pour ceci ils ont pris le thee, petit oiseau, pour ceci ils ont 
capturé le thee, inclinant parmi les feuilles, et ont embouti le thee 
pour un symbole sur ce livre. Pour lui contient un thine de 
surpassement de chanson, plus riche, plus doux, plus intense. Et le 
poèt qui a senti cette beauté brûlante, et dont le coeur était 
plein des plus belles choses, a chanté tous qu'il a su A peu de 
moment, et alors il est mort; trop frêle soutenir ceci untamed, 
éclat passionné de chanson.

Amy Lowell: Vorgeschlagen Durch Die Abdeckung Eines Volumens Gedichte (German)

Keatss 

Wilder kleiner Vogel, wer wählte thee, damit ein Zeichen nach der 
Abdeckung dieses Buches sich setzt? Wer hörte thee, im schwachen 
Abstand, das vage, weite Grün zu singen des einhüllenden Holzes, als 
die feuchte Frische der Morgenmasse von der scharfen Süsse und vom 
thy Lied voll war? 

Wer Übermoos folgte und Wurzeln verdrehte, und durch die nassen 
Blätter der schleppenden Reben in denen drückte, Sunbeams schräg 
liegend, glaenzte unsicher, während überhaupt Reiniger die fallenden 
Anmerkungen, bis, schließlich, zwei verbreiterndes Stämme 
freigegebenes Thee kam, das auf einem Spray der ausbreitenen Buche 
singt, versteckt, dann gesehen; und immer, daß das gleiche Lied der 
frohen Süsse, die Begeisterung, die incarnate ist, beruhigt füllte, 
rustling Stille des Holzes? 

Wir wissen nicht, welche Vogel Thoukunst. Möglicherweise fabled 
dieser fairy Vogel, in der Inselgeschichte, die nie singt, aber 
einmal, und dann ist sein Lied von solcher ängstlicher Schönheit, 
die er an der blossen Überschwenglichkeit der Melodie stirbt. 

Für dieses nahmen sie thee, kleinen Vogel, für dieses nahmen sie 
thee gefangen und kippten unter den Blättern, und stempelten thee 
für ein Symbol auf diesem Buch. Für es enthält ein Lied 
hervorragendes thine, reicher, süsser, poignant. Und der Dichter, der 
dieser brennenden Schönheit glaubten und dessen Herz von den 
reizendsten Sachen voll war, sang alle, die er A wenig Weile kannte, 
und dann starb er; zu schwach diesen ungezähmten, leidenschaftlichen 
Stoß des Lieds tragen.

Amy Lowell: Sugerido Pela Tampa De um Volume De Poemas De Keats (Portuguese)

 
O pássaro pequeno selvagem, quem escolheu o thee para que um sinal 
ponha em cima da tampa deste livro? Quem ouviu o thee cantar na 
distância não ofuscante, o greenness vago, distante da madeira 
enshrouding, quando o frescor úmido da terra da manhã estava cheio 
do sweetness pungent e da canção thy? 

Quem seguiu o musgo excedente e torceu raizes, e as empurrou através 
das folhas molhadas das videiras arrastando onde inclinando sunbeams 
brilhou incerta, quando sempre o clearer veio as notas deixando cair, 
até, no último, Thee divulgado dois troncos se alargando que canta 
em um pulverizador do beech ramificando, escondido, a seguir visto; e 
sempre que a mesma canção do sweetness alegre, êxtase incarnate, 
encheu hushed, rustling o stillness da madeira? 

Nós não sabemos que arte de mil do pássaro. Talvez esse pássaro 
fairy, fabled no tale do console, que nunca canta mas uma vez, e 
então sua canção é de tal beleza temível que morre do exuberance 
sheer da melodia. 

Para este fizeram exame do thee, pássaro pequeno, para este 
capturaram o thee, inclinando entre as folhas, e carimbaram o thee 
para um símbolo neste livro. Para ele contem um thine surpassing da 
canção, mais rico, mais doce, mais poignant. E o poeta que sentiram 
esta beleza ardente, e o cujo o coração estava cheio das coisas as 
mais encantadoras, cantou tudo que soube A pouco quando, e então 
morreu; demasiado frágil carregar isto untamed, estouro passionate da 
canção.

Amy Lowell: Sugerido Por La Cubierta De un Volumen De los Poemas De (Spanish)

Keats 

¿El pequeño pájaro salvaje, quién eligió el thee para que una 
muestra ponga sobre la cubierta de este libro? ¿Quién oyó thee el 
cantar en la distancia dévil, el verdor vago, lejano de la madera 
enshrouding, cuando la frescura húmeda de la tierra de la mañana era 
llena de dulzor acre y de canción thy? 

Quién siguió el musgo excesivo y torció raíces, y empujó a 
través de las hojas mojadas de las vides que se arrastraban donde 
inclinando rayos de sol destelló incierto, mientras que el 
clarificante vino siempre las notas que caían, hasta, en el último, 
Thee divulgado dos troncos que ensanchaba que cantaba en un aerosol de 
la haya de ramificación, ocultado, después visto; ¿y siempre que la 
misma canción del dulzor alegre, éxtasis encarnado, llenó hushed, 
crujiendo la calma de la madera? 

No sabemos qué arte de mil del pájaro. Quizás ese pájaro de hadas, 
fabled en el cuento de la isla, que nunca canta pero una vez, y 
entonces su canción está de tal belleza temerosa que él muera de la 
exuberancia escarpada de la melodía. 

Para esto tomaron el thee, pequeño pájaro, para esto capturaron 
thee, inclinando entre las hojas, y estamparon el thee para un 
símbolo en este libro. Para él contiene un thine que se sobrepasa de 
la canción, más rico, más dulce, más conmovedor. Y el poeta que 
sentían esta belleza ardiente, y que corazón era lleno de las cosas 
más encantadoras, cantó todos lo que él sabía A poco rato, y 
entonces él murió; demasiado frágil llevar esto untamed, explosión 
apasionada de la canción.
