Edna St. Vincent Millay: Wild Swans (English)

 
I looked in my heart while the wild swans went over. 
And what did I see I had not seen before? 
Only a question less or a question more: 
Nothing to match the flight of wild birds flying. 
Tiresome heart, forever living and dying, 
House without air, I leave you and lock your door. 
Wild swans, come over the town, come over 
The town again, trailing your legs and crying!

Rue Vincent Millay D'Edna: Cygnes Sauvages (French)

 
J'ai regardé à mon coeur tandis que les cygnes sauvages allaient 
plus de. Et est-ce que que je m'ai vu n'avais pas vu avant ? Seulement 
une question moins ou une question davantage: Rien à assortir le vol 
de voler sauvage d'oiseaux. Coeur de Tiresome, pour toujours vivant et 
mourant, Chambre sans air, je te laisse et ferme votre porte. Les 
cygnes sauvages, venus la ville, viennent la ville encore, traînant 
vos jambes et pleurer !

Edna Str. Vincent Millay: Wilde Schwäne (German)

 
Ich schaute in meinem Herzen, während die wilden Schwäne darüber 
hinausgingen. Und was sah ich mich hatte gesehen nicht vorher? Nur 
eine Frage weniger oder eine Frage mehr: Nichts, den Flug des wilden 
Vogelfliegens zusammenzubringen. Das Tiresome Herz, für immer lebend 
und sterbend, Haus ohne Luft, lasse ich Sie und verriegele Ihre Tür. 
Die wilden Schwäne, vorbeigekommen der Stadt, kommen die Stadt wieder 
vorbei und schleppen Ihre Beine und Schreien!

St. Vincent Millay De Edna: Cisnes Selvagens (Portuguese)

 
Eu olhei em meu coração quando as cisnes selvagens ultrapassaram. E 
que eu vi-me não tinha visto antes? Somente uma pergunta mais menos 
ou uma pergunta mais: Nada combinar o vôo de voar selvagem dos 
pássaros. Coração de Tiresome, para sempre vivendo e morrendo, casa 
sem ar, eu deixo-o e travo-o sua porta. As cisnes selvagens, vindas 
sobre a cidade, vêm sobre a cidade outra vez, arrastando seus pés e 
gritar!

St. Vincent Millay De Edna: Cisnes Salvajes (Spanish)

 
Miraba en mi corazón mientras que pasaron los cisnes salvajes. ¿Y 
qué me vi no había visto antes? Solamente una pregunta menos o una 
pregunta más: Nada emparejar el vuelo de volar salvaje de los 
pájaros. Corazón de Tiresome, viviendo y muriendo por siempre, casa 
sin aire, le dejo y trabo su puerta. ¡Los cisnes salvajes, venidos 
encima la ciudad, vienen encima la ciudad otra vez, arrastrando las 
sus piernas y griterío!
