There Chirps A Swallow (translation and poem)

There chirps a swallow in the birch tree grove woodland: 'Kir-ri-li--ki--vivi!' There sounds so beauteous spring morning hour extant: 'Kir-ri-li--ki--vivi!' It answers in flirting And turns with spread wing: 'Kir-ri-li--ki--vivi!' And the bird exalts its creator for all life, 'Kir-ri-li--ki--vivi!'... Sign in to see full entry.

Springtime (translation and poem)

While the vast human creation sets a death play at the ball And hell fire's inferno flames in realms and pulsates our breasts, Then sends God, kind with mercy, boons to our terrestrial ball Renewed by eternal springtime a life-spent effulgence. His law is His own and it does not trifle the origin;... Sign in to see full entry.

The Spring (translation and poem)

From innocent, pure years of child Was the spring always dear. It comes with grass and flowers over the plain, With sun and play and glad bird's trilling refrain; It comes with broad'ning news and with night's light gains, It comes with greeting about summer near. Such comes then the grand visitor,... Sign in to see full entry.

Spring In My Heart (translation and poem)

Spring in my beating heart and spring in nature, Sun o'er the land and sun in my mind.. Fine and glorious as the day is a tour And against the glittering, cloud-high hill climb. Sun saturated hours with peculiar tones, Shining thoughts and comforting assurance, Awakening views and spring fresh,... Sign in to see full entry.

So Lie You There-- (May 17th 1915)[translation and poem]

So lie you there, my beloved Fatherland, With borders toward ocean and brother's bay. With triumph the sun goes over border's far land, So the snow must crack and the cold must give way --for now it is spring! So lie you there, my captivating land, In May and spring, as a bride at a party! And... Sign in to see full entry.

Ah, Feeland, Which Has Waned (translation and poem)

As a child one longs to be grand And grown into life's coming dawn, There come forth from ma and her dear man And far out into the world draw; There one sees a coast of glimmer and gloss, Where fortune is so easily brought.-- And so one has waxed and grown and come out, Let free from bands,...

Westerly (Translation and poem)

There west amid skerries now sunk, skerries now sunk, There rises the sea and goes on, and goes on. It foams, sprays, overturns, breaks, and tumbles, It cooks, froths, bubbles, boils,and bumbles; It shouts in its play, sport and dance, its play, sport, and dance. In heaven hairy clouds fly by,...

The Beautiful View (translation and poem)

Remember you the settlement, With your childhood trace sentiment-- The whim this safe port-side basin, To which the world's storm has not sank; Remember you the settlement, Where endears childhood's long light stream Foaming between foliage and blooms, While life's wine you fully drank? Remember you... Sign in to see full entry.

Mother There At Home (translation and poem)

He flew from the ready temper out, over the highest mountain. Cabin and homestead was for him required, He felt he went there in fetters, chains conspired. So came the spring with sprout. Mother stood there in the door in tired tears, the heart would almost shatter. So she took his hand and... Sign in to see full entry.
