Deux poèmes d'Emily Dickinson
Song Cycle by Arthur Farwell (1872 - 1952)
View original-language texts alone: Two Poems by Emily Dickinson
I shall know why, when time is over, And I have ceased to wonder why; Christ will explain each separate anguish In the fair schoolroom of the sky. He will tell me what Peter promised, And I, for wonder at his woe, I shall forget the drop of anguish That scalds me now, that scalds me now.

Je saurai pourquoi -- quand le Temps sera fini -- Et que j'aurai cessé de me demander pourquoi -- Le Christ expliquera chaque angoisse séparément Dans la jolie salle de classe du ciel -- Il me dira que "Pierre" a promis -- Et moi -- éblouie par sa douleur -- J'oublierai la goutte d'angoisse Qui m'ébouillante maintenant -- qui m'ébouillante maintenant!
