The Waste Land (lines 26-42)

 
I. The Burial of the Dead

(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.   30

Frisch weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu
Mein Irisch Kind,
Wo weilest du?

'You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;
'They called me the hyacinth girl.'
– Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,        40
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.

Od' und leer das Meer.

The Waste Land (lines 26-42)

 
I. The Burial of the Dead

Vino la umbra acestei stanci caramizii
Si iti voi arata altceva decat
Umbra-ti ce in zori goneste in urma ta sau
Umbra-ti ce la apus rasare sa te intampine in cale
Iti voi arata teama intr-un pumn de tarana.

Frish weht der Wind
Der Heimat zu
Mein Irisch Kind,
Wo weilest du?

‚Mi-ai daruit zambile intaia oara acum un an.
M-au poreclit fata cu zambile’
Totusi, cand ne-am intors, tarziu, din Gradina cu zambile, si
Aveai bratele incarcate, parul umed, n-am putut
Sa vorbesc si privirea mi s-a tulburat. Nu eram
Viu dar nici mort si nu mai stiam nimic
Privind in inima luminii, linistea.

Od’ und leer das Meer
