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 umra acestei stanci rosii),
Si iti voi arata ceva ce e diferit
Si de umbra ta ce dimineata iti paseste in urma
Si de umbra ta ce seara ti se ridica in cale;
Iti voi arata frica intr-o mana de praf.

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

„Mi-ai dat prima oara zambile acum un an;
M-au numit fata cu zambile”
- Dar cand ne-am intors, tarziu, din gradina lui Hyacinth,
Tu - cu bratele pline, cu parul ud, nu puteam
Vorbi, ochii ma tradau, nu eram
Nici viu, nici mort, si nu stiam nimic,
Priveam spre miezul luminii, tacerea.

Od’ und leer das Meer.
