Edna St. Vincent Millay: The Spring And The Fall (English)

 
In the spring of the year, in the spring of the year,  
I walked the road beside my dear.  
The trees were black where the bark was wet.  
I see them yet, in the spring of the year.  
He broke me a bough of the blossoming peach  
That was out of the way and hard to reach.  

In the fall of the year, in the fall of the year,  
I walked the road beside my dear.  
The rooks went up with a raucous trill.  
I hear them still, in the fall of the year.  
He laughed at all I dared to praise,  
And broke my heart, in little ways.  

Year be springing or year be falling,  
The bark will drip and the birds be calling.  
There's much that's fine to see and hear  
In the spring of a year, in the fall of a year.  
'Tis not love's going hurt my days.  
But that it went in little ways. 

Rue Vincent Millay D'Edna: Le Ressort Et L'Automne (French)

 
Au printemps de l'année, au printemps de l'année, j'ai marché la 
route près de mon cher. Les arbres étaient noir où l'écorce était 
humide. Je les vois encore, au printemps de l'année. Il m'a cassé 
une branche de la pêche de floraison qui était à l'écart et 
difficile d'atteindre.  

En automne de l'année, en automne de l'année, j'ai marché la route 
près de mon cher. Les freux ont été vers le haut assortis à un 
trill raucous. Je les entends toujours, en automne de l'année. Il a 
ri de tous que j'ai osé féliciter, et a brisé mon coeur, de petites 
manières.  

L'année jaillisse ou l'année tombe, l'écorce s'égouttera et les 
oiseaux appellent. Il y a beaucoup qui doit très bien voir et 
entendre au printemps d'une année, en automne d'une année. 'le mal 
allant de l'amour de Tis pas mes jours. Mais cela il est entré de 
petites manières. 

Edna Str. Vincent Millay: Der Frühling Und Der Fall (German)

 
Im Früjahr des Jahres, im Früjahr des Jahres, ging ich die Straße 
neben meinem lieben. Die Bäume waren Schwarzes, in dem die Barke naß 
war. Ich sehe sie schon, im Früjahr des Jahres. Er brach mich ein Ast 
des blühenden Pfirsiches, der schwer zugänglich und hart zu 
erreichen war.  

Im Fall des Jahres, im Fall des Jahres, ging ich die Straße neben 
meinem lieben. Die Türme paßten oben zu einem rauhen trill. 
Ich höre sie noch, im Fall des Jahres. Er lachte an allen, die ich 
traute zu preisen und brach mein Herz, in den kleinen Weisen.  

Jahr entspringt, oder Jahr fällt, tropft die Barke und die Vögel 
benennen. Es gibt viel, das fein im Früjahr eines Jahres sehen und 
hören soll, im Fall eines Jahres. ' Tis nicht gehender Hurt der Liebe 
meine Tage. Aber das ging er in kleine Weisen. 

St. Vincent Millay De Edna: A Mola E A Queda (Portuguese)

 
Na mola do ano, na mola do ano, eu andei a estrada ao lado do meu 
caro. As árvores eram o preto onde o bark estava molhado. Eu v os 
ainda, na mola do ano. Quebrou-me um bough do pêssego florescendo que 
era afastado e duro de alcançar.  

Na queda do ano, na queda do ano, eu andei a estrada ao lado do meu 
caro. Os rooks foram acima com um trill raucous. Eu ouço-os ainda, na 
queda do ano. Riu de tudo que eu ousei elogiar, e quebrou meu 
coração, em maneiras pequenas.  

O ano esteja saltando ou o ano esteja caindo, o bark gotejará e os 
pássaros estejam chamando-se. Há muito que deve muito bem ver e se 
ouvir na mola de um ano, na queda de um ano. ' hurt indo do amor de 
Tis não meus dias. Mas isso foi em maneiras pequenas. 

St. Vincent Millay De Edna: El Resorte Y La Caída (Spanish)

 
En el resorte del año, en el resorte del año, caminé el camino al 
lado de mi querido. Los árboles eran negro donde estaba mojada la 
corteza. Los veo todavía, en el resorte del año. Él me rompió un 
bough del melocotón floreciente que era apartado y duro de alcanzar.  

En la caída del año, en la caída del año, caminé el camino al 
lado de mi querido. Los grajos fueron para arriba con un trill 
raucous. Todavía los oigo, en la caída del año. Él se rió de 
todos lo que me atreví a elogiar, y rompió mi corazón, de pequeñas 
maneras.  

El año esté soltando o el año esté bajando, la corteza goteará y 
los pájaros estén llamando. Hay mucho que debe muy bien ver y oír 
en el resorte de un año, en la caída de un año. ' daño que va del 
amor de Tis no mis días. Pero eso entró de pequeñas maneras.
