Alone
I am alone,
in spite of love,
In spite of all I take and give --
In spite of all your tenderness,
Sometimes I am not glad to live.
I am alone, as though I stood
On the highest peak of the tired gray world,
About me only swirling snow,
Above me, endless space unfurled;
With earth hidden and heaven hidden,
And only my own spirit's pride
To keep me from the peace of those
Who are not lonely, having died.
In spite of all I take and give --
In spite of all your tenderness,
Sometimes I am not glad to live.
I am alone, as though I stood
On the highest peak of the tired gray world,
About me only swirling snow,
Above me, endless space unfurled;
With earth hidden and heaven hidden,
And only my own spirit's pride
To keep me from the peace of those
Who are not lonely, having died.
Só
Estou só: apesar
do amor,
Apesar do que tiro
e do que dou,
Apesar de toda a
tua ternura,
Às vezes não
tenho gosto em viver.
Estou só, como
si estivesse de pé
No cume maior do
cansado e cinzento mundo,
Acompanhada por remoinhos
de neve,
Em mim: um
infinito espaço desfraldado;
Com a terra escondida
e o céu escondido,
E apenas o orgulho
do meu próprio espírito
Para me guardar
da paz desses
Que não estão sós,
tendo morrido.
